Me:  “Let’s get ready for swim class!”

Stella (pensive):  “There are babies in the water… I’m a baby.”

Me:  “Well, you’re not such a baby anymore. You’re getting so big!”

Stella:  “I’m getting HUGE!”

Me:  “Yes, you’re growing every day!”

Stella (dreamily):  “I’m a flower.”

Me (smiling ear to ear):   “Yes! You are.”
