Evie: “I think there are 3 apartments under the school for the teachers to live in.” – Remember when you thought your teachers didn’t exist outside of school?

Evie: “Sometimes my eyes just water, so I didn’t want Mrs. Laura to think I was crying.” – She didn’t want her teacher to think she didn’t like school. What a sweet girl!

Evie: “I wish I could go to school 5 days a week!” – Well, I’m glad she likes it!

Evie, telling me about her day: “…and, oh my Lord! We didn’t even sing Johnny Works with One Hammer!”

Evie, shouting out of nowhere: “Momma!”
Sara: “What?”
Evie: “Your finger bones are called phalanges!”

Evie: “No, I don’t want to wear [my mittens]! I want to go to school first and see if any of the other kids are wearing theirs!” – Ah, peer pressure, you start so young.
