Mia: Mom, I want those! (frosted animal cookies)
Me: No
Mia: I want those for my birthday.
Me: Okay, when it is your birthday,
Mia: Mom, I want cheese puff balls for my birthday too.
Me: Okay
Mia: What if I forget about it when it's my birthday?
Me: What if we both forget?
Mia: Then...we're DOOMED!

Emma: Sometimes I want to be all by myself with no children around.
Me: But you are a child.
Emma: Not a lonely one!
