Laura told me that Sophia was very well behaved at her friend's birthday party yesterday, until the birthday girl got a brand new, pink, big-girl bike:
Me: Did you cry at the birthday party when Adelaid got birthday presents and you didn't?
S: No.
Me: Well, did you cry when she got a new bicycle?
S: Yes, but only for two hours.
Me: No, honey, that's too long. You're not supposed to cry at all when others get presents.
S: No, I just cried for one hour.
Me: That's still too long.
S: (holding up three fingers) I cried for just three minutes. That's all, three minutes.
Me: That's better, I guess.
S: I stopped crying when they gave me ice cream and cake!...
