Me: Maggie, I really loved how you and Anna and Mikaiah all three played together so nicely today so that no one was left out.
Max: What's 'left out?'
Me: It means when some kids are playing together and they don't include all the kids in whatever they're doing. It can be especially tricky when there are three friends because two friends might play together and leave the other friend out. Next year when you're in school, I bet you'll get a lot of practice showing kindness by including all the kids– by helping make sure nobody gets left out.
Max: Or, I could just go play with the kid who's alone and being left out.
Lucas: That would be a very honorable thing to do. That would make me proud.
Maggie: (quickly interrupting, as if she's looking for some hypothetically honorable action she could contribute...) Well, if I'm in school and I see girls being silly, I'll just DO A BOOTY DANCE!!!
Oh, my.

Oh, my, indeed. And I suspect Grace shares her philosophy. ;)
you have 2 very different and amazing kids. It'll be fun to see what #3 is like.
My exact internal response to the "booty dance" comment went like this:
1. Oh, my.
2. Where in the WORLD did you learn the phrase "booty dance"??
3. Oh, my.
Many years of fun ahead with this spunky little gal. I sure love her.
Hahaaha! LOVE it.
Laughing so hard! I love her!
For the record, she did not learn about booty dancing during her one week with Aunt Laura.
That sounds like Faith!!! She does a "booty dance" but she gets it from Madagascar's song "I like to 'Booty Booty'" (I don't know how it changed from "Move it, move it to Booty Booty.) It is a little bit weird when she talks about doing a Booty Dance.
