We went to the park this afternoon and I made the aquaintance of two lovely young ladies. Emily and Laura are both 4 years old. They insisted on telling me all about their lives while they took turns pushing Captain Jelly Belly in the swing.

On going to school next year…
Laura: My mommy says I have to put my name on everything so I know what’s mine.

On what we are having for dinner…
Laura (approvingly): Mac and cheese is always good.

On bumble bees…
Emily: One time I had three bites on my head. My dad pulled them off and I cried because it hurt but then my dad said, “Stop crying, they’re gone,” so I did.

On a lady walking past…
Emily: My mommy looks like that but different. She is wearing a green shirt but with leaves on it.

On the Captain and Gal Smiley…
Laura: I’m much, much bigger than both of them.

As we were leaving the park…
Laura: Bye! See you next time!
