SETTING: In the backseat of Grammie's truck while looking at one of Marley's favorite picture books (loaned to her by Tucker and Tanner - Thanks Boys!).
MaKieley: Look Marley, an orange orange
Marley: OOOO
MaKieley: and purple grapes
Marley: EEEEEE
Me: Why is it not Purple Purples?
MaKieley: What?
Me: Why is it not Purple Purples?
MaKieley: I don't understand.
Me: You have an orange orange - why not purple purples?
MaKieley: You're not making sense mom.
Me: Sure I am. Orange orange and Purple purples.
MaKieley: That is not how it is.
Me: (turn the page to a green turtle) Like this should be a green green.
MaKieley: No.
Me: Why not?
MaKieley: It's not a fruit! (very matter of factly)
Me: Oh! Ok! ( I turn the page to a red apple) A Red red.
MaKieley: No mom! That is not how it works.
Me: Why not?
MaKieley: Because God assigned it the name apple. And God assigned them the name Grapes and orange.
Me: Oh! That's how it works huh?
MaKieley: Yup!
