One of my coworkers was eating dinner at our house tonight. Part of the conversation:
Kristine: I'm a little slow on the uptake.
Madelyn: Yeah.... Wait! What does "uptake" mean?

During dinner:
Me, after Tony tried the catfish: What do you think?
Tony: It's pretty good.
Me: I think it's a little bland.
Tony: Yeah, the crust could use more flavor.
I got out the Old Bay, sprinkled some on my fish, and handed the can to Tony since he was reaching out for it.
Me, after eating a bite: That's better.
Tony: Yeah, that's pretty good. (To Madelyn) Have you tried it yet?
Madelyn: No. I don't like catfish!
Tony: You haven't even tried it.
We got Madelyn to eat a bite.
Madelyn, after swallowing it and making every disgusted face possible: I don't like it.
Tony: What don't you like about it?
Madelyn: It's a little bland and the crust could use more flavor.
Tony: Did you enjoy parroting what Mommy and I just said?
Me: Why don't you try some Old Bay on it?
Madelyn begrudgingly let Tony put a little tiny bit on and then ate a little piece.
Madelyn: It's too spicy!

From the list of random things she says:
While getting dressed after baths tonight and putting on her panties:
Madelyn: We're going to have a wet panty party!
Me: Um, no, let's not.
Madelyn: Why do parties have to have names anyway? I know! Let's have a slumber party!

While in the car:
Alyson: Beep beep!
Madelyn: Don't say "beep beep"! We want to be a good sport, and that isn't what good sports do!
Alyson: Beep beep!
Madelyn: Don't say "beep beep"! We want to be a good sport, and that isn't what good sports do!

While trying to explain to Madelyn where Germany is:
"Is it a country in your back yard?"

While on our walk after dinner, we walked by a family out in their front yard, including a child who is about 18 months old wearing only a diaper.
Madelyn: Why is that baby naked?
Me: That baby isn't naked. He's in a diaper.
Madelyn: Well, why is he in a diaper?
Tony: Because he doesn't want clothes on?
Madelyn: But he needs clothes!

We went for a walk after dinner this evening. As we were walking, we heard what sounded like a real rooster. (I am not going to be a happy camper if that thing wakes me up in the morning.) For the rest of the walk, Madelyn kept yelling, "Cock-a-lock-a-doooo!!!" She complained when we told her it was normally "cock-a-doodle-doo".
