We had gotten pizza for dinner. Auntie Coles opened up the box and pulled out a slide. She started to prepare it for Violet, since we don't just throw a whole slice on her plate.
Coles said, "Violet, do you want you pizza in bits or strips?" as she started to cut.
Violet said, "I don't care."
I said, "What? you don't care?" This was a new turn of phrase for the two-and-a-half-year-old.
"I don't care," she repeated.
Christie and I discussed this phrase and tried to determine where it came from. We had been hosting Lily, Christie's 13 year old niece. We think it's quite likely that Violet's phrase came from Lily's teenage apathy.
