Just a 'Talk of Words'...

Conversation with a four year old:

Alaina: Count me in, Daddy!

Eric: Okay, baby, I'll count you in.

Alaina: Daddy, its just a talk of words.

Eric: What?

Alaina: It's just a talk of words.

Eric: Do you mean 'figure of speech'?

Alaina: Yes, a figure of speech. Its just a figure of speech.

Eric: That's right, its a figure of speech. You're so smart baby.

Alaina: Thank you, you're so smart Daddy. (Pause) And I'm so beautiful.

Eric: Yes you are, baby.

I wish I knew where she gets it...
