Me: “Who did you play with today, Gracie?”
Grace: “Oh, everybody.”
Me: “Everybody?”
Grace: “Yes, they fought over me today. Everybody was saying ‘play with me! play with me!'”
Me: “Really, Gracie?”
Grace: “Yeah. X used to be the big hit at camp but now it’s me.” Deep, dramatic sign.

Grace: “Four plus four is eight Mummy.”
Me: “Great, Grace! You are on your way with math. Exciting!”
Grace: “Yeah, I like math.”
Me: “Math is fun, Grace. Now we have to work on sounding out your words and you’ll be reading soon too.”
Grace: “I guess so.”
Me: “Reading is so awesome, Grace. What do you think my favorite thing to do is, when I have free time?”
Grace (shouting): “Read!”
Me: “Right.”
Grace: “Wait, I thought your favorite thing was to nap?”
I give up.
