Arguments

Lately Elise has taken to arguing with Zion. Their arguments go something like this.

Setting: me reading a book to the kids.
Zion: "Deep, dah, ba"
Elise: "No Zion, that's a slide, not a deep."
Zion: "Da, la, deep"
Elise, with great emphasis: "No no Zion! That's not a deep, it's a slide!"

Setting: Me snuggling a cranky Elise after naptime
Zion: "buda, ri, tee"
Elise: "No Zion, I'm snuggling with Mommy right now."
Zion, not even noticing Elise: "ska, rad, dat"
Elise, growing quite passionate: "No no Zion! I don't want to play right now, I'm snuggling with Mommy!"
Zion: "bosh, ra, ta, pud"
Elise, in tears: "No Zion, I'm not a pud!"

I'm a bit concerned with the great passion and feeling that arise in Elise over arguments against babblings. I can only imagine what I'm in for when Zion actually argues in words.
