Kait: Ha ha ha ha I have more grapes than Hyrum.
Mom, trying to teach her daughter not to say things that could hurt other people's feelings says: Kait, is that a nice thing to say? Would you like it if someone had more than you and laughed at you?
Kait: But Hyrum doesn't really know what I'm even saying.
Mom:
"He understands a lot and Hyrum is just learning to talk and when you talk like that you will teach him to talk like that."
Kait: Why does Hyrum always do what I do?
Mom: Because he spends most of his time with you me and Dad. So he does what we do.
Kait: Just like I do what you do?
Mom: Yep, that's why I need to try and always be nice.
Kait: Who do you act like?
Mom trying to follow her line of reasoning: I try to act like my mom. Is Grandma James nice?
Kait: Oh yeah! She is so so OLD, she could never say anything mean.
Mom thinks but doesn't say: "Kait, would you like it if someone said you were so so YOUNG?"
