Me: "Yes, aren't they cute?"
Jane: "Can you buy me one of these? They can fit pacifiers in their mouths." (Note: the failure of many of Jane's dolls to "fit pacifiers in their mouths" is an unending source of disappointment for her.)
Me: "Those are real babies - they aren't for sale. They're just showing the different baby clothes that you can buy from this catalog."
Jane: "They have a lot of them in here. Can you buy me one of them for a baby sister?"
Me: "Jane, we can't buy a baby from a catalog."
Jane: "Look!! Here are two more. Can you buy me one of these?"
Me: "No, we can't buy a real baby."
Jane: "When I turn four can we order one? For a little sister? Who fits a pacifier in her mouth?"
Margot (walking into room): "Jane, you can't order a real baby from a catalog."
Jane: "Margot! I know that. Mama has to order it for me."
