Imogen: This book called Lucy a beagle but actually, they're wrong.

Me: Why are the wrong?

Imogen: Because she's a PUPPY.

Me: Jen! Get away from the sink! I am doing the dishes!

Jen: No way, man.

Me: Listen you. I'm not letting you do the dishes again. Stop being a jerk and let me in there. Now! Move it!

Imogen: Kim! Be nice to my stepmom!

Imogen: When I die, can you bury me with my favourite things? I will miss you very much.

Imogen: Guess what?  I just saw a bug that looks like a bee.  It was like the bug in my bedroom.  But guess what?  I didn't freak out!  Not even a little bit.  Everything is okay, Mum.  Don't worry.

We had dinner, by Imogen's request, at The Dish And The Runaway Spoon. She eagerly placed her order.

Server: So, how's your mac n' cheese, hon?

Imogen: Actually, it's kind of gross.

The server scored huge points for immediately assessing and understanding the situation. She offered Imogen a grilled cheese sandwich.

And then...

Server: We've got three Aspies in my family. I totally get it. :)

Imogen: It's Mother's Day! Let me give you a hug and a kiss!

Me: Okay, thank you!

Imogen: See, you got what you wanted. It's a dream come true for you, Mummy!

Me: Nanny called to say she's stopping by to bring you some very exciting bread.

Imogen: But... that's not even... a thing!
