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.).
