Ada: Why?

Me: Because you might break it.

Ada: Like at Quinci and Copeland’s house?

Me: You broke something at Quinci and Copeland’s house?

Ada: (pause) Maybe.

Me: Where should we go for lunch?
Grace: House of Greens!
Me: How did you hear about that place??
Eli: You know, mom, Aaron and Isaac!
For my out-of-town readers, “House of Greens” is a salad place, and we have friends whose last name is Greene. 🙂


Ada is playing the piano…
Eli: Shhhh!
Ada: Do not shush me! (with all of the attitude that you can imagine from my smallest!)
