Amelia has been particularly hilarious lately. The things that come out of that girls' mouth. One of the reasons is probably linked to the fact that she doesn't. ever. stop. talking. Ever. She always has something to say. She chatted me up for the whole 30 minutes to a soccer game the other day without any interruption. As in, I didn't say anything.
Today, we had the following conversation on the way home from preschool.
Amelia: Mom! How long is a minute? Is a minute 89 seconds?
Mom: What? (driving) No. Why?
Amelia: Mom! I KNOW a minute is 89 seconds.
Mom: It is? I think a minute is 60 seconds.
Amelia: You are wrong. I know it is 89 seconds.
Mom: Hmmmm....why do you think it is 89 seconds?
Amelia: (dramatically) Welllllll.... today at school Ms A was talking to Ms F. Someone asked for help and Ms A said "Just a minute." She kept on talking and talking. While she was talking I counted to 89. When I got to 89, she was done counting. THAT is how I know a minute is 89 seconds.
Mom: Hmmm...
Amelia: See! You were wrong! A minute is 89 seconds!
Oh my goodness, this girl. You need to watch everything you say because she takes it so literally!
