Cora - "How big is the mess?"

Mommy - "Pretty big."

Cora - "Is it a huge mess? As huge as Goliath!?!"

Daddy - "Cora, you need to get back in bed."

Cora - "Will you carry me to bed?"

Daddy - "I can't carry you to bed, I'm busy. Now go back to bed."

Cora - "Well daddy, you can just carry me to bed and then get back to your busyness!"
