Ada: Mom, what does s-u-r-e spell?
Me: Sure.
Ada: “Are you sure you want to quit” (reading the computer)

Ada’s in her favorite morning spot: on the kitchen vent.
Me: Are you getting dressed?
Ada: I had to go potty.
Me: Umm…. ok.  Are you getting dressed?
Ada: (sigh) Ok, ok.

Ada: I wish there wasn’t a bully in my class.
Me: There’s a bully in your class?
Ada: No.  But there will be in 3rd grade.
