The Sunday Funnies

During virtual school, Dorothy was disappointed when some other kids answered questions right.  "Dorothy, do you actually want the other kids to say the wrong answer?" I asked.  "Yes," she said, "because when they get it wrong, Ms. All calls on me."

We were listening to our favorite singer.  "Taylor Swift really likes to talk about liking someone and then getting mad at them," Dorothy rightly noted.

We were taking a walk and I saw that a neighbor had pulled her trash bin out next to the Trump sign in her yard.  "Look," I said, "Trump's out with the trash!"  Dorothy observed, "But the sign is still plugged into the yard."

"This nail polish remover is really crappy," I said.  "Let me put a new one on the grocery list."  I wrote "nail polish remover" on the list.  "Now write 'that's not crappy,'" Dorothy added.

Dorothy is responsible enough now that I let her use my art supplies

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy held-out a handful of Halloween candy.  "Can I have two pieces, or three?" she asked.  "One is not an option."

Dorothy and Willa covered their bodies in dirt.  As I was spraying them with the water hose, they were having fun discovering their clean skin.  "My legs look whiter than usual," Willa said.  "Maybe you're usually dirty," Dorothy posed.

Dorothy was examining the zipper on her sweater.  "These look like molars," she told me.  "Do you know that they're actually called teeth?" I asked.  "What?!?!" Dorothy exclaimed.

Dorothy's favorite podcast was going to offer a special episode on YouTube.  I asked Dorothy what time.  "7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific," she told me.

We went camping this weekend

Kamala Harris was offering her first speech as Vice President-Elect and shattering a glass ceiling.  Dorothy walked through the room, and I stopped her and said, "Look.  That's the new Vice President that we elected."  I was having an emotional moment, and Dorothy took it all in, and came up with, "She's pretty."

Dorothy's bed was overflowing with stuffed animals and I started to take some out as I tucked her in.  "No!" she said.  "They voted and they want to stay in the bed."

I hope my Groundhog Day is November 7
