The Sunday Funnies

We were watching a Nancy Drew movie, and the villains trapped Nancy in a roller coaster that was going too fast.  Dorothy, slightly nervous, tempered:  "If she doesn't get sick, she's not actually in any immediate danger."

Dorothy was playing "2 Truths & a Lie" with some friends.  Little Mary offered, "When I was a baby I had the cutest onesie."  Dorothy quickly corrected, "That's an opinion.  Give me a fact."

I told Dorothy, "I notice that many of your friends ask me where to put their dishes when they're finished eating, and then they carry them to the sink."  I was trying to encourage Dorothy to clear her dishes using subtle peer pressure.  But she replied, "I do that at other people's houses.  But why would I ask where to take my dishes in my own house?"

Each month I reconcile the PTA bank account.  Dorothy saw the item on my to-do list.  "May Reconciliation," she read in a panic.  "What does that mean?  Do I have to do it?"

Dorothy was talking about school with friends who attend the private, expensive Savannah Country Day School.  "That's funny," Dorothy observed.  "The first names of all the kids in your class are the last names of all the kids in my class."

I picked Dorothy up from school after a day of testing.  She said that the writing portion of the GMAS test went fine.  "There was a 2,000 character limit, and I made my essay have exactly 2,000 characters," she told me.  "Oh?" I asked.  "How did you do that?"  She quickly replied, "I changed 'Becky is my name, too!' to 'That's my name!' and 'cried' to 'said.'"
