The amazing English language...

Lijah: "Autumn, took me upstairs now."
Me: "Lij, it's 'take me upstairs' and you should add 'please' to that sentence."
Lijah: "Why?"
Nana: "Because 'take' is proper English."
Lijah: "Huh?"

Oh joy.  Grammar lessons.  Even I, a wannabe English Major, still have trouble with that.

*Handing a plate to Lijah*
Me: "Lij, you just took this plate."
*Reaching for the plate*
"Now I'm gonna take the plate."
Lijah: "Huh?"

Sigh.  This is gonna be a long day.
