Amelia conversation

I feel like Amelia says plenty of cute stuff, but as the neglected middle child, she doesn't get as much written down here.  So, on Wednesday, the two of us were driving to ballet class (a ten minute drive) when the following conversation took place:

Amelia: I want to listen to the dinosaur music.
Mama: The dino music is in the other car, I don't have any dinosaur music here.
Amelia: Can we please listen to dinosaur music?
Mama: Thank you for being so polite!  I still don't have any dinosaur music.
Amelia: Then I want to listen to Car Talk
Mama: What?
Amelia: Can we please listen to Car Talk*?
Mama:  That is only on the radio on Saturday mornings!
Amelia: I just love that show.

The same evening on the way home, we had the following conversation:

Amelia: Do you remember when Grandpa Heidt was a baby?
Mama: Nope. 
Amelia: Can you tell me about Grandpa Heidt was a baby?
Mama: I think I know some stories about Grandpa Heidt when he was a baby.  He used to have very curly, beautiful hair.
Amelia: So you remember.
Mama: No.  Grandpa's sisters told me about his curly hair and about when he was a little boy.
Amelia:Grandpa has sisters?!?!?
Mama: Yes.
Amelia: Do you remember when Grandma Kim and Grandpa Kevin were babies?
Mama: nope.
Amelia: You don't?  Why? 
Mama: Grandma and Grandpa are older than Mama.  So, I wasn't born when they were babies.
Amelia: What? You DO remember, right Mama?
Mama: (are we home yet?  we hit every.single.red.light) No, I can't remember that because I wasn't there when they were babies.
Amelia: Where were you?
Mama: Hey!  Let's play the letter game!  I'm looking for a letter A.....


*In short, Car Talk is a public radio show featuring two brothers who discuss car repair and other car related topics when they aren't insulting each other.  I admit John and I are big fans.
