In other words: You are old

Elizabeth: "Yeah! Good point!"

Me: When you're grown up, are you going to bring your kids to Disneyland?

Elizabeth: If they are big enough for rides I will!

Elizabeth: "What in the Hell is this???"

Taller.... or Shorter?

(Mommy gets the hang of a brand new game...)

Elizabeth: "Want to play a game? It's called 'Taller, or Shorter?'"

Me: "Sure"

Elizabeth: "OK. Are you taller, or shorter?"

Me: "Than what, you?"

(repeats, patiently)

Elizabeth: "Are you taller.... or shorter?"

Me: "Um, taller."

Elizabeth: "Right! Now, am I taller or shorter?"

Me: "Shorter?"

Elizabeth: "That's right. Shorter."
