Before I tell you about the conversation, I must give the context.
On Friday, Ana met several of her friends at the museum. At one point, she was playing with Cailinn (no idea how to spell that girl's name, other than that there's no T) and Patrick on the little slide there. Caylin (whatever) was swinging from the bar... and the baby was at the bottom. As Cay****'s mom was busy with her baby, I went and told C, nicely, that she couldn't do that with the baby there, it's not safe. And then I got her to repeat it back to me, and she wasn't happy with it, but she understood it.
Later, I'm talking to somebody else, and the baby has moved on, and I hear Ana talking to Patrick. Loudly.
Ana (at the bottom of the slide): Patrick! What did Connie say?
Patrick: (swinging from the bar)
Ana: PATRICK! What did Connie say!
Patrick: (swinging from the bar)
Ana: PATRICK! WHAT. DID. CONNIE. SAY. TO. CAYLIN?
Patrick: (swinging from the bar)
Ana: PATRICK! WHAT DID MY CONNIE SAY????
This is where she went to ask me for help. I contained my laughter and informed Patrick and Ana that they were both in the wrong - Patrick for swinging and Ana for hanging out at the bottom of the slide (not to mention for being really bossy, but it was funny, anyway). Patrick's mom concurred, and all the kids piled together trying to... I don't know, crush each other or something.
