me: It's time to brush your teeth, monkey.

Morgan: I have to save Sacramento. I promised God I would.

me: You promised God you would save Sacramento?

Morgan: Uh-huh, I told Him if He gave me powers of bending (she'd been watching Avatar) I would.

me: Save us from whom?

Morgan: If bad guys came to America, I would just use that to stop them.

me: :D Well, you still need to brush your teeth.
