Josie to me yesterday as she was opening a new skirt that came in the mail: "We're going to have a fight...I do not like this skirt! It's not awful. It's just not pretty."
The other night we were in Josie's bed talking about paint colors for her new room. She said she wanted something beautiful like my (recently painted) belly cast. (More on that later.)
Me: "The belly cast is beautiful, isn't it?"
Josie: "Yea, but not as beautiful as me."
Me: "You are beautiful. And so are the flowers and the trees and..."
Josie (cutting me off): "They are, but not as beautiful as THIS (pointing to her face)!"
