4am. My bedroom.

Imogen: Mummy, I think it's time for breakfast.

Me: No, Imogen, it's time to go back to sleep. It's still nighttime.

Imogen: Mummy, let's play a little game called pretend.

Imogen: Mummy, you're better than sushi.

Me: Thanks Imogen. I liked the book we read about how much we love people too.

Imogen: You're even better than having a nice poo, Mummy.

July 15, 2010 round three

Imogen was extra prolific with her insight today...

Me: Oh Imogen! That's a nasty bruise on your leg. Did you fall down at zoo camp?

Imogen: Mummy, that is NOT a nasty bruise. That is not a bruise. That bruise is just a happy purple smile.

July 15, 2010 round two

Hey look, Mum! Some little mosquitoes comed to visit us and want to say, "We're so sorry that we sucked your blood." Now they decided that they are only eating fruit.

Imogen: Mummy, I think that I could bring Stellaluna the fruit bat to zoo camping and she would love to be startled by the sea lion who leapt into the hallway.

Me: That was pretty cool. We were so surprised when the sea lion startled us, weren't we?

Imogen: Yes, and Stellaluna would like that.

Me: Why would she like that?

Imogen: That's because fruit bats think sea lions are happy like elephants.

July 13, 2010, round two

Imogen: I wonder what's the name of this frozen corn?

Me: I don't know, what do you think it is?

Imogen: I think its name is Really Special Frozen Corn.

Me: That's a nice name.

Imogen: Actually, I think its name is Really Really Special Frozen Corn.

Me: Are you telling me that you really like this corn, Imogen?

Imogen: Actually, I am telling you that I want to name it Rebecca.

Imogen: I want to draw some pictures, Mum.

Me: Sounds great. I'll get the markers.

Imogen: The first thing I'm going to draw is my very most favourite tulip potato.
