2 conversations with my cousin Hope, 5 years:

Hope: What is glasses and not a hat?
Me: I don’t know!
Hope: What is yellow and not a pig?
Me: Hope, are there answers to these?
Hope: No.

Hope: What is red and a bird and starts with ‘M’?
Me: I don’t know! What?
Hope: A hummingbird!
Me: That doesn’t start with ‘M’!
Hope: I know! I tricked you!
Grampa: Hope, I think that’s called ‘lying.’

Ah, those subtle distinctions...

I once asked a yawning six-year-old why she was so tired.

"I only got one piece of sleep last night!"
