Sample conversation at bedtime last night:
Em: "I'm cold."
Me: "Then get under the covers so you'll be warm."
Em: "No, I'm cold because I don't have any fur."
[Pause.]
Me: "Did you just say, 'I'm cold because I don't have any fur?'"
Em: "Yes, that is correct."
[Pause]
Em: "And also because the fan is blowing on me."
Me: "Well. Do you think, just maybe, the reason you're cold has more to do with too much fan/too little covers, and less to do with your current state of furlessness?"
Em: "Hmmm. That's a good point, Mommy."
[Long pause.]
Em: "Nope, I really think I'm cold because I don't have any fur."
