My conversation with Olivia (my three year old niece) on the phone last night:

Olivia (overheard): “Nana, who are you talking to?”

Nana: “I'm talking to Auntie Mollie.”

Olivia: “Can I talk to her?”

Nana: “Of course.”

Olivia (to me): “Hi”

Me: “Hi sweetie bug, what are you doing?”

Olivia: “I’m just standing here.”

Me (in my head): “If only life were that simple.”
