Me: “We should get rid of the George Foreman.”
Evie, distraught: “But, then how would we make bacon??”

Evie: “Can you keep reading from your brain?” – In other words, “Can you keep telling me a story?”

Evie: “I wonder what Uncle Nathan is doing right now? Probably boasting that the Packers won the big game.”

Evie: “She lived long ago, back when pretend things lived, like fairies and dragons.” – She understands that pretend means they don’t exist. At least not now. Maybe she’s not so clear on the definition of pretend after all. Oh well, I’d rather live in a world where fairies and dragons at least used to exist.

Evie: “I wonder what it looked like!”
Sara, not paying attention: “Mmm hmm, me too.”
Evie: “No you don’t.”

Touché.
