How to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

I was asking Sam about the steps to make a PB&J this morning as I was fixing her lunch. I like holding conversations like this - it makes me feel more like a responsible mother trying to teach her something, and less like a lunatic trying to throw together some food and get out the door in time for work. So I prompted that the first step would be to get some bread. Then . . .

Mama: "So we've got some bread. What's the next step?"

Sam: (Gestures to indicate bread in front of her) "Bread."
(Gestures as if pushing something away) "No cat!"

Mama: "WHAT is the next step?"

Samantha: "NO CAT!"
(Gestures as if spreading peanutbutter) "Then, pea-butter . . . "

Cue Mama rolling on the floor laughing! Who knew that was a step in making a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich? Hahahahaha! I live for this stuff!
