Conversations - of Sorts - with a Three-Year Old

"What would an elephant do to your house if you had an elephant in your house?"

"Mummy, butterflies make butter."
"They do?"
"Yup, but I don't know how, okay. Don't be sad."


"Do you see how my toes look?"
"Your toes? They look fine."
"My toes are making a funny face."


"Mummy, I don't understand this singing."
"No, it's a different language. I think it's Italian."
"What?"
"Italian".
"What am I tellin'?"
