Dorothy watches a show about a little girl who acts as the detective for a queen.  Out of the blue, Dorothy suggested, "Mira should get paid because she's the royal detective."

We had delicious turtle candies which were dark chocolate topped with sea salt.  Dorothy may have been the first to taste them, and she announced to the group, "There's something you need to know!  This sugar is salt!"

We stayed up late this weekend, and Dorothy kept announcing, "It's 72 minutes past my bedtime!"  "It's 86 minutes past my bedtime!"

A food pantry truck was ahead of us on the road, and Dorothy asked about the picture on the back.  "That's a Wal-Mart truck that has an advertisement for a food pantry," I said.  "When people need groceries but cannot afford them, they can go to the food pantry and pick-up groceries for free.  Wal-Mart is advertising that it donates money to the food pantry."  "Shouldn't they donate food?" she asked.

Dorothy referred to a time when I elbowed her in the head.  "When did I elbow you in the head?" I asked.  "When you were jumping jacking," she said.

The Sunday Funnies

We were watching a show about ballet dancers.  "They dance on their toes, and that must be easy for them!  They have flat-toed ballet shoes," Dorothy observed.

Dorothy's school has a few playgrounds, and I asked her which one she played on that day.  "The run-away-from-Elijah playground," she answered.

Dorothy complained that her online reading program made her "login again to continue learning."

I mentioned to Dorothy that I had trouble sleeping the previous night, and that I got up and ate a big snack.  "That sounds like so much fun," Dorothy said enviously.

Gram sent us mail from Valdosta, and I was pleased that it arrived so quickly.  "It usually takes 4 hours to get to Valdosta, but it took two days for the mail to get here," Dorothy complained.
