Both girls are sitting on the couch with coloring books in their laps. Caitlin begins to color a picture of a monkey (and proceeds to color it pink like the pink stuffed monkey that she adores).
Kiera: Caitlin, that's a perfect picture for you because you ARE a monkey!
Caitlin (enthusiastic and a little annoyed): I'm not a monkey! I'm a big girl!
Me: Oh, you ARE a big girl?! Well, then we need to think about giving up those binkies because big girls don't use them. They're for little babies.
Caitlin: NO! I'm a baby! I'm a little baby. But I'm not a monkey!
