A conversation with a 2-year-old

Here's what it's like to talk to a 2-year-old. I use Andie because, for now, she's the more loquacious one of the two right now. Plus Allie's been screaming a lot. Like, a lot. For things such as wanting a cup of juice and me failing to solve how to make a faster-than-light warp jump on foot and therefore actually taking seconds to respond to her request. 
So, quite frankly, Andie deserves the publicity more than Allie right now.

Andie: "Whazzat?"
Me: "That's my shaving cream."
Andie: "Huh?"
Me: "I use it to shave."
Andie: "Shave?"
Me: "Yep. Shave my face."
Andie: "Like Mommy?"
Me: "Well, sorta like Mommy. Mommy shaves her legs."
Andie: "Mommy shaves her legs?"
Me: "Yep."
Andie: "Daddy shaves his legs?"
Me: "Um, no."
Andie: "Whazzat?"
Me: "I told you, that's my shaving cream on my face."
Andie: "Shave?"
Me: "Yes"
Andie: "Legs?"
Me: "No. Face."
Andie: "Mommy?"
Me: "She's downstairs."
Andie: "Is that your shirt?"
Me: "Yep."
Andie: "Your shirt?"
Me: "Yes."
Andie: "Whazzat?"
Me: "What? This? This is my razor. I'm done with it now."
Andie: "Whazzat?"
Me: "I just told you. Razor."
Andie: "Razor?"
Me: "Oh yeah."
Andie: "See my shoes."
Me: "I do. They're cute."
Andie: "Cute?"
Me: "Yep."
Andie: "Cute?"
Andie: "Mommy?'
Me: "Yep."
Me: "She's downstairs."
Andie: "Your shirt?"
Me: "No, your shoes?"
Andie: "My shoes?"
Me: "Yep."
Andie: "My shoes?"
Me: "Yes."
Andie: "Brush! Brush!"
Me: "No, we've brushed your teeth already."
Andie: "Mommy?"
Me: "She's downstairs. Why don't you go find her?"
