We enjoy reading Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie books together as a family. One of our favorites is "Can I Play Too?" which includes this choice conversation:
Today we had a conversation during lunch. Of all the times we reminded Superstar to not correct his parents and his sister, this was one of them.
Joy: You are not the mommy.
Superstar: I am not the mommy.
Princess: I am not the mommy!?! Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!
We stared at her for a moment ... and remembered.
All: Hee-hee! Ha-ha!
Derrill: You are a funny snake.
Princess smiled with great pleasure.

Gerald (Elephant): No! We do want to play with you. But ... But...
Piggie: We are playing catch.
Gerald: With our arms.
Snake: So?
Piggie: You do not have arms?
Snake: I do not have arms!?! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!Snake: Hee-hee! Ha-ha! Hee-hee! I know I do not have arms! I am a snake.
Piggie: You are a funny snake.

Love it! Plus, I love Piggie and Gerald. I really want to throw a fancy costume pool party, but I don't think anyone would really get it. (And if you don't get it either, go read I Am Invited to a Party.)
