Nemo? No. Not quite.


Lana: I was a little fish. I swimmed to the bottom and then I swimmed to the left. And there were a lot of other fish and then a shark came and chased me! And then I swimmed to the other bottom and another shark chased me and I swimmed and swimmed and swimmed! And then the shark got me! And then I stopped and he tried to eat me again! And then he spit me out and I fell down to the river. And then my shark was riding and riding to the beach and I hit that shark! And hit hit hit and get him away! And he was just going to eat me.
Me: that was a great story!
Lana: That was not a story that was a question.
Sveta. That nice fish caught me and that nice fish hold me hanndd.
Lana. Yeah that fish show Sveta how to play games.

And then the story went on for another ten minutes and included an explanation that the shark wouldn't want to wear my necklace because it's too small for him and it might break.

We then found a parking spot and Sveta was quite pleased. She said, "I make a good choice!!"





Daddysaurus.

Sveta: He's a daddy.

Said the dolphin to the whale...

Sveta: May I ride on you?
Lana: Yes, because I'm beautiful.

There was a context for this but it really detracts from the innuendo.



Don't lick the sidewalk.

Lana (in song!): yucky things! Yucky things are bad for you to eat!






Hold the dancing.

Lana: I haaaatteeee a potty break!
Sveta: I loveee a potty break!!

Avocado is the name of the game.

Me: Lana, can you show me where on this globe you are from? ( I asked while steering her toward north America)
Lana: (pointing at Siberia) I'm from cavacado [avocado]!! We gotta go to cavacado.

I suspect thus us because of the light and dark green trees there on the globe but who even knows.



Sea creatures

Lana: Daaddddyyy...may I can have some more whales?



How was your weekend?
