Overheard at Snack Time

Our friends Maggie (age 5) and Abbie (age 2) came over and played with Jonah today.

Older Woman

Jonah: Maggie, do you know that I like you?

Maggie: Umm. . . I don't want to talk about this right now.

Big Stuff

Maggie: Aunt Becky, can I go down those stairs, please?

Me: No, not right now.

Maggie: Why?

Me: Because it's all dark and yucky down there. Plus, if you go down, then Jonah and Abbie will want to do it, because they think you're a cool, big kid.

Maggie: Well, the big kid part is true. And the cool part is true, too.
