Bathwater tea
Yesterday, when I prevented Daisy from drinking a big cup of her own bathwater, she informed me, "Even grownups drink bathwater." She then expanded, "And persons drink bathwater. And babies drink bathwater." Very persuasive, but probably still not a good idea.
She has been narrating some story to herself for the last twenty minutes, nonstop. These are a few snatches I have caught:
"Hey, Henry! What? That's Dena!"
"'I'm so sorry,' said Mama."
"I'm going out shopping on the merry-go-round."
"Look, that baby's in the corner! Even grownups put their babies in the corner. And even persons get their babies to go into corners."
Hmmm... that sounds kind of disturbing, actually.
I just heard, "Daisy's in the corner, putting her mess all over the floor."
EDIT
Okay, Daisy is definitely getting a lot of mileage out of this "Even grownups..." formulation. Just now I told her not to write on the coffee table with her markers and she told me witheringly, "Even grownups write on coffee tables. Even PERSONS write on coffee tables."

Hey now ... no one puts baby in the corner!
:-)
Heh! I can't believe I didn't think of that myself. Poor dead brain cells....
On the darker side of Daisy's learning to talk...
Yesterday as I was putting her into her car seat, struggling a bit with getting it buckled, Daisy quietly said, "Jesus Christ."
Obviously, that's what I frequently utter when trying to wedge her into the seat. I'd better be careful.
