just another normal conversation with marteens

[scene: naptime for juancho and martina. juancho was already in bed, trying to sleep. martina and i were debating the value of naps, particularly hers.]

the still-jetlagged aunt: (trying to be observational) marteens, look! juancho is asleep. he's a good boy, right?

marteens, the smartest 2-year-old: no, juancho a boy!

tsja: yes, but he's a GOOD boy.

mts2yo: no, a boy.

tsja: are you a good girl?

mts2yo: no, i'm a boy.

tsja: ok, all the boys should nap now. are you a boy?

mts2yo: no.
