Neve: "So what do you want me to do anyways?"
Fiona: "I just want you to talk in an old fashion voice."
Neve: "But I don't know what 'old fashion' sounds like! Why can't I just talk normal?"
Fiona: "Because these are my rules [if you want to play with me]. Here's what you should sound like.
(insert 8 year old's version of a British accent here)
'Why yes, good sir, I would like a biscuit.'
(and then she bowed.)
... but you don't have to say 'biscuit' or 'good sir' or anything. Just, you know, kinda like that. "
Neve: look of disgust, "But I don't want to."
Fiona: "Well then, I guess you don't want to play."
Neve: reluctantly, "Okay, okay. I'll do it."
Fiona: "Good. So...
'Hello, ma' lady. Are you looking for... THIS!?'
(Fiona pulls a pencil out of the inside pocket of the winter coat she's wearing over her pajamas).
Neve: same expression, plus 5 year old robotic-British accent, "Nor, I am not. Why would I want... THAT!?"
Fiona: "Why did you say 'nor'?"
Neve: "Fiona. You're 8 and I'm 5, and you didn't know that people from a long time ago say 'nor'!? Wow."
Fiona: "I know about 'nor', Nev-"
Neve: interrupting, "-MOM! I JUST WANNA TAKE A BATH!"

HI-larious!!!
How have I allowed myself to be absent from reading your blog for so long!? I am certain that I now will have a cure to any feelings of depression I may or may not have been experiencing. Also, I am so looking forward to when my girls can carry on a conversation like this. Well, not that it would be just like this, but where it isn't just one sided. :)
