Overheard in the station

A dad and a two or three-year old were having this conversation, which I've recorded as best as I can from memory:

Dad: You can't run in the train station.

Wee girl: Why?

Dad: Because you might fall over the edge, so you need to be a bit careful.

Wee girl: And then if a train came along you’d be squished.
Like a pancake. 
With eyes. 
And a nose, and ears, and fingers, and legs [long list of body parts which I can't remember]

Dad: I wouldn't want you to turn into a pancake.

Wee girl: What would you do?

Dad: I'd say oh no, Martha's a pancake!
