A conversation with my daughter

Me: Natalya, your birthday is coming up, what would you like for your birthday?
N: (thinking)... a cake!
Me: ok, got it, a cake. What else would you like?
N: a chocolate cake!
Me: ok honey, but on your birthday you get presents. What kind of presents would you like?
N: pink ones!
Me: (giggling) Ok, pink wrapping paper, but what do you want in the paper, what kinds of things do you think you'd like to get?
N: [thinking and not sure}
Me: you know, like you got a tricycle and a doll last year on your birthday? What would you like this year?
N: a tricycle and a doll!
Me: [laughing] honey, you got that last year. what would you like this year?
N: Santa Claus brings me presents.
Me: yes! Exactly, like at Christmas you opened presents, like your camera you got. What kinds of things would you like to open this year?
N: a camera!
Me: no, you already have a camera [laughing harder]. I tell you what, you think about it and get back to me.
N: ok Mommy.
