A few days before her birthday:
Me:  "Scarlett, what do you want for your birthday?"
Scarlett:  "Ummmmm, maybe a belly button-showing shirt?"
Me:  .....

At dinner on same said day ^^:
Brian:  "What would you do if a puppy showed up on the doorstep on your birthday?"
Scarlett, without hesitation:  "POB-EE [probably] give him a dog tweet [treat]!"
Harper:  "But Scarlett, we don't have dog treats..."
Scarlett:  "Well we can buy some, a-memba [remember]?!"

 

Still at dinner:
Me:  "Scarlett, what are you going to do when everyone sings, 'Happy Birthday!' to you?"

While examining her clip-on earring collection:
