Conversation #1
(following a short talk about my 5 year old nieces Geography and Map workbook)

Grandma: So does your workbook teach you how to read maps?
N: Ya, I look at the map and color each part the correct color grandma
Grandma: Oh, so do you look at the legend, that little box with the symbols, to find where they each go?
N: Hmmm...Legend?
Grandma: Do you know what the Legend is?
N: Well, ya--A legend is like a story that people have told for a long time that has not been proven if it is real or not real.
----(this is where me and my mom look at each other like, did she really just say that?)
N: You know, like Santa Claus is a Legend.

Conversation #2
(while I was at work my mom and niece made some little people out of pipe cleaner---when I arrived home she decided I needed to make one as well. She helped me through the whole process, this is when we got to the hair)

N: Would you like a piece that is long or short?
Julia: Huh?! Oh, for my hair.
N: You can choose, corto or largo

Conversation #3
(to make a long story short--this conversation is after myself, my mom, and my niece have each made our person out of pipe cleaner)

N: Alright Grandma me and Julia are ready to play with our people.
Grandma: K just one minute N.
N: Well, Grandma if you could please hurry we are ready to play.
(Grandma comes in ready to go)
Me: Alright N what are we going to play?
N: Well how about we just have our people be us. Like Grandmas person can be a Grandma, and mine can be a girl who is 5 and in pre-school, and yours can be a teenager.
