Whenever I put Miss1 down for her afternoon sleep, I give Miss4-and-almost-5 a chance to get anything she would like to play with out of the room. They share a bedroom and so there is usually a half dozen toys and/or books that get ferried from the room and dumped in a pile in the hallway, just in case she might need them in the next couple of hours.
Recently, we had the following exchange...
Me: I'm about to put [Miss1] down for a sleep, it's time to get anything you need out of this room
Miss4-and-almost-5: (with a slightly puzzled frown on her face) But there's nothing I need in here.
Me: (in utter disbelief) Really?
Miss-4-and-almost-5: (as if explaining the obvious) There are lots of things that I want, but nothing that I need. They're not the same thing, you know.
