Maia being M A I A !

Here's a quick introduction to "The Maia Lexicon" as of today:

"I wanna do papercolors!" - which means "hey folks, I'd like to sit down at my little table, with some paper and a bunch of crayons, so I can draw some dragons and stuff"
" Where the Papa/Mama going?" - whenever one of us leaves the scene.
"Can I want this?" - "can I have this?".
"Can I have a cut?" - can you give me a knife, so I can finish setting up the table?
"No, Maia can do it!" - she says all the time. Who the hell needs parents!
"Joey, no te caigas!" - she commands the classroom fool at her daycare.
"I need the chico one." - the small one, that is.
"Dooooggie, where aaare youuu? Con the tipo inside?" - looking out the window every morning, wondering where our grouchy neighbor went with his dog.
"It raining, not mucho, solo bissi" - well that didn't quite hold true this weekend, it's been raining cats and dogs.
"Eeeeeow, it's stinky. Don't eat that stuff " she says when Mama tries to bite her toes while changing diapers.
