What we've done

"What does the note say?" Ali hands me a paper that he has drawn and writeen some letters on.
I make up something complimentary to myself.
"No. It says, First I was four. No, First I was two. No, First I was one. Then I was two. Then I was four."
According to my mom, he says he was never three. But then, why did he like to say, "Me three"?

Ali: "Does all of the food in chicken make brown food?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Ali: "If you eat all of the vegetables and food on one plate and tippy top and very fast, does it make brown food or no?" He shrugs his shoulders and looks at me with a questioning look. "Do you know what I mean?"
"Where does it make the brown food?"
"I saw it at Woody Wood Pecker at a fancy restaurant."
