Me: “Huh, my accordion strap just broke.”
Ollie: “Oh no! That’s my favorite accordion!”

Me: “Wait a minute. You just told me this morning  you wanted to get some new shoes. How did they get here already?”
Sara: “Well….maybe I already ordered them yesterday.”
…
Sara: “If they had just come tomorrow, I would have been fine!”

Ollie: “I want syrup too.”
Evie: “Ollie, you’re always copying me! You always pick the same thing!”
Me: “Hey, he only had two choices. Maybe he just felt like syrup today. It doesn’t mean he’s copying you.”
Ollie: “Yeah! And also, I like to try what Evie’s trying.”

So much for trying to help him out there.
