Amelia funny

At lunch, I was helping attempting to help Gemma with her cup.  She was insisting on doing it herself and making a giant mess.  While I was trying to prevent milk from coating every single surface in the kitchen, Amelia had this conversation with me:

Amelia: Mom! Mom!
Mom: Whaaa... Gah!  Gemma!  No! Stop! Here!  Let me helppp...argh! No! Let! GO! Blech! (wipes face).  Sorry.  What did you need Amelia?
Amelia: I just finished drinking my juice.  It was delicious.
Mama: Oh?  GEMMA! Wait!  Stop!  Here, I'll hold.....fine.  Do it yourself.  Yes that's right....NO. STOP!  You can't....well.  You just did.
Amelia: Now I'll say it in English so you can understand me (she says this to me like we are having a normal everyday conversation and I am not wrestling with a giant, slippery, stubborn, shrieking, desiring independence type octopus).

Mama: Sure.
Amelia: I just finished drinking my juice.  It was delicious.  See?  Now you can understand me because I told you the words in English. You didn't understand me before because I was speaking in Spanish.
Mama: You were?
Amelia: I WAS!  Isn't that great?
Mama: It was (I have no option but to agree here because while I am certain she was speaking English both times, I was so distracted, I have no idea what else was said or what I missed in wrangling Gemma.).
