This is the conversation In the car today.
(Max was crying)
Ellie: Oh Maxie, it's okay are you hungry?
Max: (pauses to listen to big sister)
Ellie: Okay Max, if you're hungry just eat a booger. You can find them in your nose. Just use your finger!
Mom: (giggling) Ellie! Don't tell him that, that's disgusting!
Ellie: Why is it disgusting?
Mom: Because boogers are gross!
Ellie: No Mom, they are not gross.
Mom: Well, if you eat them, they will give you a big stomach ache.
Ellie: Oh, I see. (Pause) So they are like candy.
Mom: Well, I guess. They both can give you a stomach ache... You know, I wouldn't say they are like candy. I would just say they are gross so don't eat them!
Ellie: Oh, okay Mom
Sometimes, I could use a manual for these types of conversations.
