Me: “I love you.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “So what?”
Me: “So, that means you’re my super special girl, and I’ll do anything for you.”
LMT: “You’ll do anything?”
Me: “Yes. Anything.”
LMT: “Will you… buy me all the candy I want?”
Me: “No.”
LMT: (pouts) “I don’t understand love.”
Me: “No one really does.”
Me: “Is everyone ready for the bus? Oh my goodness, why is your hair so messy?”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “It’s Crazy Hair Day at school today.”
Me: “Cool. Maybe I’ll do that for work today, too.”
LMT: “Every day is Crazy Hair and Crazy Beard Day for you.”
Me: (slow blink)

Vendor Guy: “Everybody’s a winner! Spin the wheel, get a prize! Congratulations little lady… your spin landed on red. You can choose any item from that table.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Anything? Really?”
Guy: “You bet, sweetie! Anything on the table.”
LMT: “I want that.” (points)
Guy: “No, not my iPad.”
LMT: “You said anything on the table.”
Guy: “Well, yeah… but… I meant… anything except the iPad.”
LMT: (long stare) “Then nevermind.” (walks away empty handed)
