Excuse me?

Yesterday I was asking Josephine (8 years old) why it took her so long to get her shoes on.  She looked up at me, and let out a sigh, "Momma, come on.  Can't you see I'm having a struggle?"

Early today I asked her if she understood what I had asked her to do.  She looked at me with her big brown eyes and said, "No, Momma.  I'm still perplexed."

Ok, so maybe these are not huge vocabulary words, but, when you hear them used by your baby girl, they are amazing.  So is she.
