Martha's syntax has become very literary of late. Of course, this warms my (Bachelor of Arts) heart. The other night she and Cy started fighting. She got up and walked away.

Martha: Cy! You stink!

Me: What?

Martha: Cy when you scream your voice stinks!

A couple days later she was arguing with Sabine.

Sabine: Martha, don't be so mean (Martha, sei nicht so gemein).

Martha: It's not me, it's my mood (Ich kann nichts dafür, meine Stimmung ist so gemein).

On the other side, Cy is deep in his why phase.

Sabine: I'm going to send a quick SMS (Ich schicke schnell eine SMS).

Cy: Does it then just fly through the world (Fliegt sie durch die Welt)?
