Four isn't as exciting as two for that, but it has its moments. From today:

Dog: BARKBARKBARK!
Me: *jumps* Oh! You scared me! *laughs*
Evangeline: Did you think that was ME?
Me: No, I... the dog. I said "you scared me" to the dog, and he DID scare me!
Evangeline: Dogs don't talk like people do. They don't say "Hi, how are you, I'm fine, this is my house" like that.
Me: That's right.
Evangeline: And they don't eat the same foods people do. And they don't... they don't drink from cups. *laughs* Drinking from cups! That's cwazy. That's peopleness, that's not dogness! People drink from cups, and people don't drink like *slurpslurp* on the ground and get water all over on them. That's dogness.

minutes later....

Evangeline: Did that used to have water in it? *pointing to a big water bottle that's on the back steps*
Me: Yup, but it's empty now, leave it alone.
Evangeline: But what's it doing now?
Me: Just sitting there.
Evangeline: No, I mean, for what reason?

For what reason? She's four! Where did she pick that one up?
