I talk to my kiddos constantly. And even though Big Girl can answer back, I sometimes make up different answers from her in my head. Because I know that's what she's actually thinking. Consider this conversation on school.
Mom: Did you have fun at school today?
Big Girl: Preschool.
Mom: Did you do anything interesting?
Big Girl: It's preschool. I didn't exactly learn differential diagnosis techniques.
Mom: That reminds me that a new episode of House is on tonight. Did you eat all of your lunch?
Big Girl: Nope. Did you?
Mom: Ah, I, no.
Big Girl: Why not?
Mom: I was just really busy.
Big Girl: Too busy for lunch?
Mom: Well, yeah. I mean, wait. Did you do any drawing at school today?
Big Girl: I'm bored. Is House on yet?

Tisk tisk, turning this make-believe conversation into something about you, Mom LOL. Wait until she really is in school--you'll still have to make up the conversation because the only answer you'll get is "fine" or "nothing."
