Riley: Mum, you are the bestest, wonderfulest, mum in the wholest wildest world!

{Lying in bed, having a cuddle with Keira}

Me, stroking her face: You’re pretty.

Keira, stroking mine: You’re furry.

Me: No, I said pretty, not furry.

Keira: I know what you said, but you’re furry.

Me: ….?

Keira, pointing: Here, here, and here you’ve got hair on your face.

Me: Okay, I think you can stop now.

Keira, pointing: Oh, and here.

Me: Thank you, dear.
