Conversations with Hadderooni.

Me: Er, I never thought I would actually say these words, but could you please stop reading the dictionary and brush your teeth so we can leave?

Had:  Awww!!  Can I read it in the van?  I love improving my vocabulary!  I'm learning despondently and asset.

Me [to self]: Please let her still be nerdy when she's a teenager.  Please never let her pretend to be dumb.

Hadleigh: Mom, I don't like Rolf in the Sound of Music.

Me: Why not, Had?

Had:  Well, the part about him being on the side of the Nazis isn't so bad, but he's just such a liar to Liesl.

Me [stuffing entire fist in mouth to stop from laughing]: Well, actually Had, I'd say being on the side of the Nazis is sort of worse than being a liar.

Had [thoughtfully]:  Hmm.  I guess you're right.

5 - Well, I should say that Miss Hadley ought never be despondent for lack of God-given assets - discernment, for starters. (Comment this)
