Little Miss Thing, age 5: “You can’t make me.”
Me: “Pardon me?”
LMT: “You can’t make me do it – if I’m already doing it.”
Me: “I guess that’s true.”
LMT: “I do things on my own.”
Me: “Yes… Yes you do.”

Recipe
Me: “What did you do at camp today?”
Little Miss Thing, age 5: “We made ice cream.”
Me: “Very cool. How did you make it? With cream and sugar?”
LMT: “No, I made it with… a door knob… and a crushed up car… and an old stop sign… and chocolate syrup.”
Me: “Wow… I didn’t know that’s how ice cream was made. Did you stir it?”
LMT: “No. I put gas on it and lit a match and it went BOOM!”
Me: “I had no idea it worked like that.”
LMT: “It’s Chemistry.”
