First

When GG is back in her room for a while, Madelyn will go back to check-up on her. This morning before breakfast, Madelyn went to see what she was doing:

Madelyn: GG, whatcha doing?
GG: I'm getting ready to make my bed.
Grandma, from the kitchen: Madelyn, breakfast is ready.
Madelyn went out to the kitchen and said to Grandma: GG is getting ready to make her bed. You should go back and help her.

Second

When I picked Madelyn up from preschool, her teacher told me that they made cards for soldiers today. Madelyn wanted this written on the card she made:

"Thank you for keeping the zombies away from the earth."

(Yes, that went on the card because the teacher thought it was hilarious and couldn't resist.)

Third

As usual, Madelyn didn't want to leave Grandma and Grandpa's when it was time to go home.

Me: Well, if you stay here, Grandma will put you to work.
Madelyn: How will she put me to work?
Me: She'll make you do chores.
Madelyn: What are chores?
Me: You'll have to clean the house, dust, vacuum...
Grandma: With the really loud vacuum!
Me: You'll have to both fix dinner and clean the dishes, and then you'll have to do some laundry.
Madelyn: I'm ready to go now.
