Recent Conversations/Monologues

I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday and she instantly answered, "I want to celebrate with [hand gestures] a big beautiful cake with some tulips on it. Lots of tulips."

R, while playing in her room: "Mama, COME HERE! Please."
Me: Ok, but could you please say that again as a question?
R: It's not a question.

She was trying to tell me where something (can't remember what) was and she said, "It's over there, just past the overtangle." Just past the what? "The overtangle." The overtangle turned out to be a photograph we have hanging near our bedroom. But then she said actually that piece of art wasn't really an overtangle, so I said, "Can show show me which ones are overtangles?" and she pointed to two different works and said, "Just that one and that one are overtangles because that guy didn't paint any others."
