How does one respond to a 7 year-old niece’s odd texts?

The new update is taking a

shower in the morning

(new update?)

I’m glad to hear the new update

is taking a shower in the

morning.

The only thing is that you are so

beautiful

(awe, such a cutie!)

you too are beautiful.

I love you so much more than a

person

(hun?)

I am a person, but still I’m glad

to hear you love me so much

better.

[insert two lines of

 smiley emoji]

[insert line of alternating pig face/pig snout emoji]

(because she loves pigs)

[insert line of alternating monkey face/banana emoji]

(because she knows I like to say monkey a lot?)

oh, and I love you so much better

than a person, too.

On inspiration for this piece: Part of this comes from Poetic Asides's 2015 April PAD Challenge: Day 10. The theme for this prompt was..."For today’s prompt, take the phrase 'How (blank),' replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem."  

As to what else contributed to this piece...well...it incorporates a correspondence between my niece and I.  This conversation was relatively normal, compared to some of the others I have had with her.
