Three Going on Thirteen

I had an eerie conversation with my three year old this week, during which I was almost convinced I was talking to a teenager.  It was one of those really sassy do-you-know-what-so-and-so-did dialogues that I really didn't expect for another ten years, but the end of the conversation brought us back to the three-year-old level with a good laugh...

Cianne says, "Mom, do you know what ___ said to ___ on the playground today?"  

"What?"

"She told __, 'I'm sorry that I kicked you.'"

"Oh, did Ms. Patti make her apologize?"

"No, she just said it all on her own.  She just went up to her and 'apollenized.'"

"Really?...(Hiding giggles)...Well, sometimes we all have to do that."

Cianne: "Yep, she just had to apollenize."
