You can never spend too much time observing and mentally recording the dialogue of others when you're a writer.
Today, I got to overhear this delightful conversation from two three-year old girls.
Girl #1: Take a vase.
Girl #2: Take a vase.
Girl #1: Put the [Play]dough on the bottom.
Girl #2: Put the dough on the bottom.
Girl #1: Stick in the flowers. Like this.
Girl #2: (takes a blue glittery egg attached to floral wire) Stick in like this.
Girl #1: NOoooo! Take a flower. A flower! (Attempts to takes the egg.)
Wrestling match ensues. Small attempts at slapping. Girl #2 lays on top of egg.
Mother of Girl #1: Let me go find another egg.
Girl #1: (manages to wriggle blue egg out) You want another egg? A green egg? (returns with green egg)
Girl #2: Thanks. (sticks egg in vase, adds in some flowers) Doesn't it look pretty?
