Dorothy likes to drink ice-cold water. I told her that when we get a new refrigerator we are going to get an ice maker. She asked, "Can we get one of those kinds that has ice, water, and lemonade that comes out of the door?"
Dorothy watched a live game show that celebrated the launch of her favorite podcast's new book. After it ended, she explained excitedly to Brian, "We won a theme song at the end of the show, and we also won a book that you can buy at the stores! You couldn't buy it yesterday, but you can buy it today!"
Dorothy was playing dangerously, and I said, "Be careful! If you slip and fall, you'll really get hurt...but it might make you lose your tooth!" And Dorothy quipped, "I'll have to put it under my hospital pillow!" (She swears she made this up.)
We were reading Blueberries for Sal and the story talks about canning the berries. Dorothy asked what that meant, and I explained the process, using words like can, jar, winter, and jam. "Oh," Dorothy said, "You mean preserve?"
We were reading an American Girl book which talks about WWII. Somehow Dorothy ended up referring to the sides of the war as "teams".
