(while sitting next to me on a chair)
Anja: I'm all clean with boogers.
Me: You have boogers in your nose?
Anja: No, see?! (shows me her nose)
Me: Okay, good.
Anja: Yeah, I put them on you, see? (shows me my own arm)
Jay: Our neighbors got a new Audi
Anja: Newaudi? What's a Newaudi?

Jay: No, it just goes really fast.
Anja: Ohhhhhh
Jay: Anja, do you have to go potty?
