Chances are, if you spend any time with Lily lately, she's going to tell you this:
It's usually more sincere, but with a hint of Eddie Haskell about it.
Sitting down to dinner: "I like your shirt!"
When I wake her up in the morning: "I like your shirt...brown is my favorite color!"
When talking to Mel (on the phone, 2800 miles away): "Hi, Dad. How are you? I went to dance class and played outside. I have to go...I'm watching My Little Pony. Bye! Oh, wait...I like your shirt!"
Last week, five minutes after Mel put her to bed:
"Mom! Mooooooom! I need to tell you something!"
"Whaaaaaaat?"
"Come closah."
"This better be good, Lily."
"Closah...it's a secret."
"[grumble, grumble] WHAT?"
"I like your shirt."
