Captain Jelly Belly’s six-year-old cousin, ChitChat, is up visiting for the weekend. They are crazy about each other and love all the same things, so they have a great time together and are always super excited when we get a chance to visit.

I just can’t get enough of listening to them talk to each other. They have the most adorable “conversations” where they both kind of talk AT each other, on a similar topic, but not really listening or communicating. But neither of them minds — they’re both just silly with enjoyment at each other’s presence. Here’s a sample conversation from yesterday in the car, where they were both playing with toys from the movie Cars:

ChitChat: I like your car The King.
Captain: I think Lightning McQueen is the fastest.
ChitChat: We went to Florida but in the store there they didn’t have any The King.
Captain: Lightning knows how to drive backwards.
ChitChat: Did you get The King from a store, or from a Kindersurprise?
Captain: What’s a Kindersurprise?
ChitChat: It’s an egg with a toy in the middle.
Captain: I can’t eat eggs, eggs make me sick.
ChitChat: It’s not a real egg, it’s made of chocolate, with a toy inside.
Captain: Are there eggs in it?
ChitChat: No, there is a toy in it.
Captain: Eggs make me sick.
ChitChat: Did your The King come from a Kindersurprise? It’s an egg, made of chocolate.
Captain: I like white chocolate but not brown chocolate.
ChitChat: A Kindersurprise has both!
Captain: We bought The King at the store.

So adorable!
