Philosophical: "I am me"
Rage-filled: "Mummy, you're NOT my friend!"
Pensive: "Old people are gonna be dead"
(shortly followed by)
Worried: "But those ones which are alive, they aren't dead ...?"
Soppy: "Mummy, I love you so much, I want to marry you"
(at the traffic lights)
Curious: "Why has the green man got no clothes on?"
(thankfully in English)
Scathing: "That girl has fat legs"
Mature: "I used to play with that/wear that/watch that when I was two!" (she's now three)
Italian: "I want tortellini for dinner"
Totally un-Italian: "I want tortellini for breakfast"
(This post was actually inspired by 22 month old little bro Jack who, this evening, said "moon mana". Loosely translated from toddler-speak, this means: "Look, the crescent moon is the same shape as a banana". This struck me as such a genius flight of imagination that it got me thinking of all the other odd stuff his big sister has come out with recently)
(It is also inspired by my dad, who consolidated his role as King of the One-Liners on a recent visit by coming out with the absolutely corking: "Are chickpeas called that because they're for girls?")

Hey Mel,
My name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Italy and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The expats on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. They must also speak English fluently and can be buyers or renters for their homes. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
