Me: "What did you want Santa to bring you this year?"
DD4: "I don't understand why you insist on this Santa charade but if it means SO much to you, fine, I'll play along but really, I am too old to be playing with toys."

DD4: "E is my secret boyfriend."
Me: "Oh really, why not S?"
DD4: "He whines and cries too much. I don't want to have to listen to that."
Me: "And you don't whine and cry too much?"
DD4: "At home, I do, but that's different."
Me: "How so?"
DD4: "You're my mommy and it's your job to listen to me whine and cry."
