Breakfast conversation:

Joseph: I drank all my milk!
Mommy: You did! Where did it go?
J: It went down my belly and into my throat!
M: Then where did it go?
J: Into my legs!

(We’re sitting on stools at the kitchen island and Joseph props his legs up on mine.)

J: Mommy your legs are warm.
M: They are? How do your legs feel?
J: They are cold.

(pause)

J: Please mommy may I have a sip of your coffee?

(I give him a spoonful.)

M: Do you like that?
J: Now my legs are warm!
