Ellie has a book of manners where all the Disney princesses show her how to be polite.  Ariel never interrupts unless it's an emergency.  
At breakfast, Mommy and Daddy were having a conversation.
Ellie:  Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommmy!
Mommy:  Ellie, Mommy and Daddy are talking now.
Ellie:  Yeah.
Mommy:  Remember what a princess does?  She waits until Daddy is done talking.
Ellie:  Yeah.
Mommy:  (continues her conversation with Daddy).
Ellie:  Top talking Daddy!
Daddy:  (stares at her unsure what to say).
Mommy:  (stares at her trying not to laugh).
Ellie:  Top talking Daddy, pease! (mistaking our stares for the "what do you say first" look).
Proceed to laugh.  At least she gets half of the concept.
