Conversation this morning…

This morning on the way to school, Natalie and I had a minor disagreement. It went like this…

Natalie (pointing to a truck) says: Bus!

Mommy: No, sweetie, that’s a truck. Can you say truck?

Natalie (looking inquisitive): Bus?

Mommy (firmly): Truck.

Natalie (wildly shaking her head and frantically pointing): BUS!!!

Mommy (gently): Truck.

Natalie (desperately): BUS??

Mommy (melodically): Trrrrrruuuckkk!

Natalie (seizing the opportunity to play a game): Bus!

Mommy (smiling): Truck!

Natalie (giggling): Bus!

We go back and forth like that for a while, until a big yellow school bus goes by.

Natalie (super excited): BUS!!

Mommy: Yes, that’s a bus!
