Tasmiya: Did you just put your finger in your belly button?
4 year old: Yes.
Tasmiya: And did you lick your finger?
4 year old: Yes.
Tasmiya: That’s gross! Why would you do such a thing?
4 year old: Because I dropped maple syrup in there.
Tasmiya: Ok. I don’t want to know any more. Thanks.

Tasmiya: So what game are we playing?
4 year old: I have super powers. My super power is lightning.
6 year old: And my superpower is acid.
Tasmiya: OK. That’s a bit scary! So what is my superpower?
4 year old: Well….
6 year old: You don’t really have one.
Tasmiya: Well, how am I supposed to compete with lightning and acid? That’s hardly fair.
(Pause)
4 year old: Ok ok. Your superpower is poop.

4 year old: We just get close to you, smell you and then go phooar! and run away because you stink!
