::Evie was interested in Italian, so Sara and I were teaching her all of the Italian words we could think of::
Me: “What do you think ‘scusi’ means?”
Evie: “I don’t know, what?”
Me: “It means ‘Excuse me’.”
Evie: “Like when you toot, or when you’re passing by somebody?”

I’m not sure Italian is that nuanced.

::Evie with her Halloween candy::
Evie: “Daddy, I just ate a zero!”
Me: “Zero what?”
Sara: “Nutrients.”

(For the record, she meant a life saver)

Evie: “Uncle Ben, you’re my only uncle with hair!” – Take that Uncle Nathan!

Me: “Well, if that’s how it’s going to be, I’ll put away the magic tricks. My magic is not supposed to make girls cry.”
Sara: “Your magic IS to make girls cry.”
