Random comment as the rest of the kids were getting ukes out and choosing picks:
Grade 3
Marnya* Guess what? I'm not going to Afterschool. I get to spend the rest of the day playing in our yard.
Me Sounds like fun.
Marnya* Well, sort of yes and sort of no.
Me What do you mean?
Marnya* Well, it's not so nice outside right now. The bugs are out and ready to eat some people.
and
Grade 1 As I was lifting down the conga drum from the shelf:
Dirk* Wow, that drum looks heavy.
Me Yep. It is. That's why I'm getting it down for you.
Dirk* How come it's so heavy if it's empty?
*Marnya and Dirk are, of course, not these children's real names.
