conversation with a three-year old

Juma: You should try this [root beer]. You'll like it. It's really good.
Sarah: Oh, I don't really like root beer.
Juma: When you grow up and be a dad, you'll really like it.
Sarah: I will? But I thought I am grown up and I'm a mom.
Juma: When you don't want to be a mom, you'll grow up and be a dad!
Sarah: Grabs paper and pencil and starts recording the conversation.
Juma: Finishes his root beer and wants some more. I can pour some of this myself.
Sarah: I better do it. You might spill it.
Juma: I won't! I'll get it straight in the cup.
Sarah: No, I'll do it.
Juma: Why don't you like me?
Sarah: I do. I just don't like spilled root beer on the floor.
Juma: Oh. Why you writing everything?
