Our Conversation with Lena at Dinner

Mum: "Hurry up and finish your food Lena"
Lena: "I wan up"
Dad: "No, not until you finish your food. And then you can get in the shower"
Lena: "No shaow [shower]. I wan baaaa-f [bath]"
Dad: Ok, you can have a bath.
Lena: "Shaow-baaaf [shower-bath]"
(pointing)
"Mun-ti?"
Mum: "Yes, shower monkey will be there" [we keep a monkey in the shower so she doesn't traipse wet monkies around the house, and so we don't have to deal with the ordeal of Lena's monkey separation anxiety]
Lena: (pointing at Oliver) "Oll-ber. Poopoo"
Dad: "Is Oliver stinky?"
Lena: (laughing) "Ha ha! No!"
Dad: "Does Lena have a poopy nappy?"
Lena: "No. Daddad. Stin-ty [stinky]."
Dad: "Is Lena stinky?"
Lena: (laughing) "No" (laughing harder) "Ha ha ha! Daddad poopoo [Daddy has poopy pants]"
Dad: "Oh really? Daddy's stinky?"
Lena: "Eeeeeew! Daddad stin-ty [Daddy stinks]."
(laughing really hard)
"Daddad poopoo. Daddad eeeeeeeeeeeeat poopoo [Daddy eats poop]!"

Whilst we aren't encouraging our daughter to run around telling people they eat poop, we just lost it on this one. It was all we could do to keep breathing because we were crying with laughter, and telling her to keep saying it over and over again.
