Just an entry starring Ari, with special guest stars me and Tony...
Ari: Do you know what I'm thinking?
Tony: What?
Ari: That Mommy loves me.
Tony: Aw, does Mommy love you?
Ari: No, the doggies love me.
(Apparently, not even SHE knows what she's thinking...)
Me: Ari, you're silly.
Ari: No I amn't!
Me: "Amn't"? *laughs* Ari, you're silly!
Ari: No I amn't!
Me: *laughs*
(Repeat at least 2 more times, for my own entertainment.)
Ari: At church, I sat next to Megan.
Me: You mean Miss Megan, or your friend Megan?
Ari: My friend Megan. Mommy, can you say "Megan"?
Me: Uh... Megan.
Ari (proudly): Good job, Mommy!
(I guess she failed to notice I'd said it twice already?)
Ari: Mommy, can I sing "Mamma Mia"?
Me: Sure, go for it.
Ari: I'm gonna sing it all by myself!
Me: OK, sweets.
Ari: *pause* Um, Mommy, can you sing it with me?
Me: Ari, you're a nut-burger.
Ari: No, I'm not!
Me: Yes, you are.
Ari: Yes, I--no, I'm not!
(Ahh, the old Looney Tunes switcheroo...)
Me (to Ari): On Saturday, Gramma and Grampa are coming over for a Thanksgiving dinner.
Ari: What's Thessgibbin?
Me: Thanksgiving is a special day where you eat a lot of food and talk about the things you're thankful for.
Ari (without missing a beat): I'm thankful for my doggies.
Tony: Well, I'm thankful for Mommy and Ari.
Ari: And I'm thankful for my toys.
Tony: Are you thankful for Mommy too?
Ari: And I'm thankful for my toybox...
(I'm going to pretend she simply didn't hear him...)

your kid is a nut-burger. I think that name describes her perfectly :)
