AVA: There’s a shark in my boot!!!
ME: A what?
AVA: There’s a shark in my boot! It’s schplinking! It’s schplinking in my boot! [Two brown boots are sent flying to the passenger seat]. Mama, the shark schplinked in my boot!
ME: [Lifting heavy Target bags out of trunk]. Ava, you can’t get out of the car until you put your boots back on.
AVA: It’s phlanking. It’s okay now. The shark is phlanking. It will fly away soon. Oh, there it flew away. I can put my boots back on now, okay, Mama.
Oh Ava…when sharks phlank that’s the worst!! I’m so glad it flew away, back to where it came from! – Shanel
