Annie: "I'm trying to train Mommy to comb my hair without hurting my head."
Will: "Well, if you just sit very still and don't move while she's combing, it won't hurt. I used to have long hair, so I know."
Annie: "I sit still. And it STILL hurts."
Me: "I remember when I was little and my Mommy combed my hair, it always really hurt. So I understand, Annie."
Will: "Well, it doesn't hurt if you sit still. I think mommies are smarter nowadays than they were yesterday."

Me: "Your mom said you could have some bread. But she said to remind you of the story of the Little Red Hen."
Will: "The Little Red Hen?"
Me: "Yeah, you know. Where the Little Red Hen asks if anyone will help her bake her bread, and they all say 'Not I,' but when she asks if anyone will help her eat the bread, they all say 'I will!' But then she says that they can't help eat the bread, since they didn't help bake it."
Will: "Well, the Little Red Hen obviously didn't have any kids."
Will: "The Little Red Hen?"
Me: "Yeah, you know. Where the Little Red Hen asks if anyone will help her bake her bread, and they all say 'Not I,' but when she asks if anyone will help her eat the bread, they all say 'I will!' But then she says that they can't help eat the bread, since they didn't help bake it."

Will: "Ahh Annie just made me hold the door open FOREVER."
Me: "I doubt it was forever."
Will: "It felt like a hundred MILLION hours."
Me: "I doubt it was a hundred million hours."
Will: "Well then, 23 minutes."
Me: "I don't think it was that long either."
Will: "Okay, maybe a minute."
Me: "Yeah, that sounds more like it."
Will: "But a minute in the global sense."
Me: "The global sense?"
Will: "Like, some people don't actually mean 60 seconds when they say a minute. They mean a longer time, or a shorter time."
Me: "And what do you mean when you say a minute?"
Will: "I mean 60 seconds."
Annie: "My minutes are 70 seconds."
Me: "I doubt it was forever."
Will: "It felt like a hundred MILLION hours."
Me: "I doubt it was a hundred million hours."
Will: "Well then, 23 minutes."
Me: "I don't think it was that long either."
