Conversation with a four-year-old

At church on Sunday...during lunch....

4 year old: "Lisa! Lisa! I'm turning five and having a birthday party!!"

Me: "Sha-Weet!!"

4 year old: (pauses and cocks head) "What'd you say?"

Me: "Sha-Weet!!"

4 year old: (nodding wisely) "Sweet, Lisa, sweet. That's not how you say it!"

Me: "Ah, but it's how I say it!"

4 year old: (ponders for a moment) "Sha-Weet...is that how it goes?"

Me: chuckling...oh boy, I can just see how this is going to go....

4 year old's mother: "Look at the pretty flower!"

4 year old: "Sha-Weet!"

Mother: "That's not how you say it!"

4 year old: "Ah, but it's how I say it!"
