First

While finishing up breakfast this morning:

Me: How much snow do you think we got?
Tony: About 8
Madelyn: 8 miles of snow!?!

We then started explaining to her that it's less than a mile to a couple places she knows and that 8 miles would be a whole lot of snow. Her grasp of it all:

"That would be like 100 degrees away from Nana and Poppop's!"

Second

After Madelyn was in bed and I had come downstairs, she called for me over the monitor. Using the intercom feature on our monitor:

Madelyn: Mommy....
Me: What do you need, Madelyn?
Madelyn: I want a kiss.
Me: I gave you a kiss before I went to feed Alyson.
Madelyn: I want another kiss.
Me: Well, that's going to cost you extra.
Madelyn:....
Me: How much money do you have to pay?
Madelyn: Like $25.
Me: You want to pay $25 for a kiss?
Madelyn: Yeah...
Me: Okay, I'll be up in a few minutes.

I go up there and give her a kiss.

Madelyn: I want 25 kisses!
Me: No, you were supposed to pay me $25 for one kiss.
Madelyn: Oh...

(And, no, I did not really charge her for an extra kiss.)
