A Conversation with Sarah Beth

The other night, as Sarah Beth was helping me prepare supper, I dropped a little spot of the batter on the counter. This conversation ensued.

Sarah Beth: That's a button. That's a button. That's a button. (She tends to say things more than once.)

Me: Okay.

Sarah Beth: I'm going to push the button.

Me: Don't push the button.

Sarah Beth: Why not?

Me: You know it's not really a button. It will just make a mess.

Sarah Beth: What if it was a button?

I'm not exactly sure how I answered her question. Do you have conversations like these with your children? Please tell me I'm not alone.
