“Daddy, I like counting backwards.”
- Amanda

“Really? Where do you start?”
- Daddy

“At 100!”
- Amanda

“What comes next?”
- Daddy

“16, then 19, then 14, then 15, then 16…”
- Amanda

“That’s not backwards… that’s forward!”
- Daddy, being more kind than truthful

“But I said 100 first!”
- Amanda

Well, that could be amusing too…

“You girls need to go to sleep right away with no goofing off. Tomorrow is a big day with a big surprise planned.”
- Daddy

“I already know what it is, Daddy. Gram-Gram told me.”
- Emily

“What is it then?”
- Daddy

“We’re going to a museum park.”
- Emily, who has been to the museum many times, but hadn’t yet been introduced to the concept of an amusement park

Well, it sounds healthy anyways…

At Grandma’s house:

“Grandma, can I have some strawberry seaweed juice?”
- Amanda, who obviously misheard the phrase “strawberry kiwi“!
