Bella's usual morning routine is to climb into our bed and snuggle with us while she watches "her tv."  Today we hear her jumping on her bed so we tell her to stop so she runs downstairs and I can hear the tv on.  She then came upstairs to go potty so I said, "What are you doing down there?"  "I'm watching my DVD of Despicable Me.  I can watch it up here with you or downstairs, which would you prefer?" Huh??? Which would I prefer?  How about my 4 year old to not have better English than I do!
