Finnian: “Mommy, is it time to come inside?  It’s been a long day!”

Me: “You can come in if you want.”

Finnian: “I mean is it time to come inside?  It’s been a long day!”

Me: “Yes, it’s time for you to come inside.”

Finnian (overheard a few minutes later): “Children, Mommy says it’s time to come inside.”
