conversations with toddlers

Between Mom and Noah:

M: Noah, go find your flip flops and put them on.
N:  I don't want to.
M: Please go look.
N: Okaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy.
Short absence of Noah...
N: Mom! I can't find them anywhere!
M: Go look again, please.
N: How 'bout Emma goes and looks for me?
In the background, Emma says, "OKAY!"
M: Noah, how about you don't make Emma do your dirty work?
N: But Mom, Emma likes to do my dirty work!

Between Mom and Emma:

E: Mom.
M: Yes, Emma?
E: Mom.
M: What is it, Emma?
E: MOM!
M: What, Emma?
E: I don't know.
Exasperation...
