Kids Say the Darndest Things...

At an ice cream parlor, we sit and look over the sweet treats menu. Gracie is fussing and crying.

Pat: What's the matter girl?
Grace [crying]: I can't read!

On the way to the ferry to see Mommy off to work.

Shana: Grace, you know in a few months you will go to school.
Grace: That's really, really cool.

***

Grace dances in the kitchen to her favorite toddler tunes.

Shana: Wow, Grace, you're good at dancing.
Grace: Thank you, Mama. [Then takes a grandiose bow.]

***

While trying to get Grace ready for bed, she runs into our bedroom (a delay tactic), then peeks out our window. She sees our neighbors through their kitchen window and begins to shout out and says, "Hi." A dialogue ensues.

Grace: Good morning, J---!
Neighbor: It's not morning.
Shana (whispering to Grace): Say, "Good night!"
Grace (yelling): Good night! Sweet dreams!
