Selective hearing

This was the conversation around the breakfast table this morning.

Elizabeth: MoooOOOOOOoooommmmmmm! Caroline won't give me my Elizabeeeeth {American Girl doll}
Me: I'm sorry. I don't understand whine.
Elizabeth (in flat monotone): Mommy? Caroline won't give me my Elizabeth.
Caroline: I'm a little sister. I don't hear so much.

Ah, the old "distract them with a non sequitur" trick. And it worked. I think Caroline still had the Elizabeth doll when Elizabeth left for school. I will need to restore justice this afternoon.
