The Conversation

Just wanted to let you know the conversation lately between Laina and Sutton and then I get involved. It generally goes like this:

Sutton: "This is a falling airplane." (as he's playing with an airplane made from the wrapper of the piece of gum he's "chewing" - ate)
Laina: "Why?"
Sutton: "Why, what?"
Laina: "Why?"
Sutton: "Why, what?"
Laina: "WHY, SUTTON!?"
Sutton: "WHY, WHAT!?"
Mom: "What is going on?"
Laina: "Sutton said that that's a falling airplane." (pointing at the plane)
Mom: "Sutton, you said that it's a falling airplane and Laina was asking why."
Sutton: "I talking to Laina.(looks at Laina) Why?"
Mom: "No, Sutton, you told Laina that it's a falling airplane so she's asking you why you said that it's a falling airplane."
Sutton: "No, I talking to Laina!"
(Meanwhile, Laina's just sitting there smiling and giggling as frustrated as I am.)
Mom: "Sut, why is it a falling airplane?"
Sutton: "I don't know. (Pausing for thought) It's not a falling airplane."
Laina: "Sut, if it's fast it's a jet."

hahahahaha why do I try to figure out the minds of a 4 and almost 3 year old.
