Three year-olds

This morning I was eating breakfast while LM did a puzzle on the floor next to me. Her older sister came in and said, "Dad, don't make me a sandwich today. I'm having a bagel." After she left the room, LM turned to me and asked in a puzzled voice, "SE is having a baby?"

Just a couple of minutes later, I went downstairs to roust JW out of bed. When I came back, LM asked why I left her alone, because she is little. I said, "I thought you said you were big." Repeating something she'd said yesterday, she replied, "I'm big in the morning and little at night," then added, "and it's still a little dark outside, so I'm little!" How could I argue with that?
