~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Elias doesn't poot, he smells like butterflies!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (telling a story) "...and they walked through a big dessert, that's a lot bigger than a little bitty one."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (to Ben after sitting where he had recently vacated) "When you sit here it makes the chair nice and warm!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (to Mommy) "Does your back hurt?"
Me: "Yes."

Talia: "Do you like it if I have toys?"
Ben: "Yes..."
Talia: "Why?"
Ben: "Because then you have something to play with?"
Talia: "Why does that mean I have something to play with?"
Ben: "This sounds like it's going to be a very circular conversation..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "I have my own language. It's called 'Thé'. Do you want to learn some words in Thé?"
Me: "Sure, how do you say 'sun?'"
Talia: "pal-esal" and paper is "gam-estell-al"
Me: "Where does Thé come from?"
Talia: "It came from my voice..."

Talia: "A baby catcher, like [the midwife.]"
