9.25.20 - Kid snippets: Clara is NOT bossing me around

We're working on having Clara say "please remember X" instead of "You forgot X!" Tonight Clara asked if we could have tortillas for dinner. While I was still making them:

Clara: Moooooom! *long pause to think* Please...remember...to give us tortillas.
Me: That was very nice asking, Clara! I am almost done with them right now.
Clara: Yeah! I was going to say "You almost forgot!" but then I thought of better words!

Earlier today Clara and I were co-creating a drawing of Jack Skellington and Sally. She asked me to sketch Jack Skellington's house in the background. As I had only just begun to outline the house:

Clara: Don't forget to draw the windows.
Me: I'm not going to forget, give me a second. Stop bossing me around.
Clara: *puts both hands up at her shoulders in a defensive posture* I'm just *asking* you to draw the windows. I'm not bossing you around!

Also at some point this morning Clara ran across the room to fart on me and laugh uproariously. When I asked her why she did that, she said it's because she loves me.
