Two nights ago Presley and Paxten and I were dancing in my office to Woolly Bully. (Yes, I'm serious. Any time I think of a good song to dance to I'll find it on youtube and put it on and we'll all dance. Usually Presley and Paxten and Lora dance while I watch and smile, but the other night it was just me and the two girls dancing while mommy was in the living room.)
Me: Presley go get mommy to dance with us.
P1: Okay
(Ten seconds later Presley comes back from talking to Lora.)
Me: Presley, where's mommy?
P1: She doesn't want to dance.
Me: Why?
P1: Her leg hurts. She has a tummy leg.
Me: A "tummy leg?"
P1: I mean a ache leg.
Me: An "ache leg?"
P1: Yea.
Me: I see.
(She was trying to take a term that she knew, "tummy ache," and use it to describe her mommy's hurt leg. I think she was looking for "leg ache," but I liked what she said way better because it made me smile.)
