It's like when they put the telephone landline headset up to their ear (or drape it over their shoulder) and start babbling away. My brother's 2 year old used to do that, it was adorable.

Friends of mine are really smart. When their daughter was 3, she would play read AND PRETEND TO LOOK AT THE INDEX IN THE BACK, then go back to the middle of the book.

At 2 1/2, she wouldn't go down for a nap, kept asking for water, or a story, just something, and finally her dad got mad and said -- enough, this is the last time I am coming in here. (She had to leave her mommy at a party and go home for a nap and she wasn't happy.)

Her response to her father's ultimatum? I swear this is true. 2 1/2 years old. She said --

"You must concede that I am lonely and afraid."

Two and a half.

Wow, "concede" is really advanced.
