Mind of a Child

On Helping:

Me: Hannah, can you help me put away your clothes, please?
H  : No, thank you.
Friend that is visiting: Hannah, I think your mom would appreciate it if you help her.
H  : (in a very enthusiastic & encouraging tone) Mom, you can do it!
Me: ... yes, technically I can but that's not the point.

On Sharing:

Mike: That's my blanket!
H     :  You need to share, Daddy!
Mike: Why?
H     :  Because I want it!
Mike: Are you going to share your toys when your friend E comes over?
H     :  NO!

On Eating Too Much:

H  : I'm all done.  Mommy, are you all done?
Me: No, not yet.  I'm still hungry.
(She rubs my stomach)
H : You're all done.  Your tummy is too big!
