Memory and grammar start early

I was trying to remember a very funny thing Naomi said the other day. It wasn't coming to me. It was intensely frustrating, because I really wanted to remember, and had tried to sear it into my brain at the time. Apparently the searing didn't work.

Or maybe it did, just not on me, because Hannah reminded me of it in the car the other day. She told the whole story. So now I can remember it and tell it to you.

I was trying to fix the girls' hair the other morning, and needed the brush for Naomi's hair. I had used it on Hannah and it was still out, so I said to Naomi, "Naomi, please go get the brush off the couch and bring it to me."

Naomi looked at me, all innocence, and said, "Bring you the couch, Mama?"

Okay, so there was technically an unclear antecedent...I still can't believe she caught it!
