Imogen: Mummy! I just haved a great idea!
Me: Oh yeah, what's that?
Imogen: I want to get some special dirty bathtub dishes for Jen for her birthday!
Me: Huh?!?
Imogen: Yes, Mummy, special dirty bathtub dishes that she can wash all by herself in the bathtub.
Me: That sounds like a very, um, unique gift, Imogen.
Imogen: It is very unique and also Jen is going to love it! She will like my present the best.
Me: Um, yeah.
Imogen. Dirty bathtub dishes are the BEST!!!
By this point in the conversation, Imogen was hopping from leg to leg and waving her arms wildly with excitement. Why didn't I have my phone nearby to capture the giddiness?!?

After reading The Feel Good Book by Todd Parr, we had this conversation:
Me: What feels good to you, Imogen?
Imogen: It feels good when I go to school.
Me: That's great.
Imogen: It feels good when I have a sleepover with my dad.
Me: Awesome.
Imogen: It feels good when I say, "I love you" to my other mummy, Jen.
Me: Does it feel good when you say, "I love you" to me?
Imogen: No, Mummy. Then it feels like a job.

Imogen: Mummy, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Me: I still don't know. What do you want to be?
Imogen: Well, I can't be a fairy because I don't have wings. So I guess I want to be a princess.
Me: What's involved in being a princess?
Imogen: It means I get to be like Jen.
Me: I still don't know. What do you want to be?
Imogen: Well, I can't be a fairy because I don't have wings. So I guess I want to be a princess.
