“I’m all done picking up toys!”
- Emily, with enthusiasm but not accuracy

“I see toys over here that need to be picked up.”
- Mama, trying not to sound tired and frustrated

“What else do you see?”
- Emily, after repeating her “all done” speech three more times

“Emily, I see a little girl that I love very much.”
- Mama, who was about to yell and decided it wasn’t worth it

“You know what I see, Mama? I see a big person that I love very much.”
- Emily, making Mama very glad she didn’t yell!
