Evanie: Mama ah-wanna-eata-soooooup.
Me: You want soup for lunch?
E: No she said she wants shoes.
Me: I don't think she wants to eat shoes.
E: Evanie do you want to eat shoes?
Evanie: Ya ah-waaaanna-eata-soooup!
E: Do you mean MY shoes?
Evanie: Ya!
E: (very worried) Carolyn she says she wants to eat my shoes!! I don't want her to eat them!
Me: I'm certain she won't eat your shoes.
E: Evanie do you want to TAKE my shoes?
Evanie: Ya!
E: Now she wants to TAKE my shoes! I don't want her to take my shoes. They're my NEW shoes!
Me: This is getting out of hand.
In all fairness to the poor 4 year old, Evanie DOES try to claim everything of hers because she thinks the 4 year old is THE standard in all things interesting and cool. So it is completely in character for Evanie to claim and demand her clothes, her food, her toys, and her barrettes. But in this particular instance, I think there may have been a bit of a mistake.

She claims everything as her own, yet shares cups with you? What are you teaching that child? = )
It is funny, my niece said something and my son said
"She said she is hungry." I said "No, I think she said she is stinky." and my sister (the mom) said "No, she is thirsty." Takes a mom to understand....!
