Naomi ~nearly 3~ and her conversations with Mommy about when she grows up:
Naomi: When I am a cat, I will be black, with mean eyes like this (her eyebrows narrowing) and I will have sharp teeth and I will bite you!
Mommy: What do you mean "when you are a cat"? People grow into bigger people, not cats!
Naomi: But I'm going to be a cat like Molly when I grow up!
Mommy: Well, I hope you won't be a mean cat. I'm not going to be mean to you, so will you still bite me?
Naomi: When I am a cat, I will bite you!
(Mommy figures that must be just what you have to do when you're a cat.)
...later that day...
Naomi: I am growing bigger, bigger, bigger. When I'm a dinosaur, I will have sharp teeth like this (pulling down her gums to show her sharp teeth)....and mean eyes like this (narrowing her eyebrows and glaring) and I'll ROOOOAARR (her claws in the attack position)!
Mommy: Ahh! That's scary!....But I thought you were going to be a cat?!
Naomi: (pausing and puzzling over how to do both...and deciding most certainly) I'm going to be a dinosaur.
