Claire: Hey Daddy? When I have crunchy stuff in my mouth, can you say “Who’s – what’s – what do you have in your mouth crunchy?”
(Claire puts some Goldfish in her mouth.)
Daddy: What do you have in your mouth that’s crunchy?
Claire: Goldfish.
Daddy: Oh!
Claire: Now, when I have a soft thing in my mouth, can you say, “Why do you have a soft thing in your mouth?” Can you do that, D?
(Claire takes a bite of muffin.)
Daddy: Why do you have a soft thing in your mouth?
Claire: Um, because, it is – it’s a, a muffin.
Daddy: Oh.
Claire: Now when, when I eat this one, you need to say, say “What’s that soft thing in your mouth? What do you have in your mouth that’s soft?”

Daddy: What do you have in your mouth that’s soft?
Claire: Um, it is… a muffin. It’s a muffin. It’s a muffin. Daddy, it’s a muffin.
Daddy: Okay.

Claire: Six!

Claire: You know what I got? You know what I got, Daddy?
Daddy: What?

Claire: Fooourrrr.
