I Have a Sword!

At dinner this evening:

JULIA: (thrusting her arm up into the air as she holds her fork) I have a sword!
ETHAN: You do?
JULIA: Yeah, see? Daddy, hold your fork up now and say "I have a sword!"
ETHAN: (raising his fork up into the air) I have a fork!
JULIA: No! I have a sword!
ETHAN: But I don't have a sword. I have a fork.
JULIA: Well, you could pretend ya have a sword.
ETHAN: I don't know how to pretend.
JULIA: Well, I know how to pretend.
ETHAN: I know you do. That's very apparent.
JULIA: Here, Daddy, you just do it like this: (holding her fork up high) I've got a sword!
ETHAN AND JULIA: I HAVE A SWORD! I HAVE A SWORD!
MADELEINE: Raising her arm up into the air and breaking into a smile like she's in on the joke.
