Rilla: Mommy, Rose says I have headacheitis.

Me: Yikes, that sounds serious! What is it?

Rilla: It’s when you color for too long and you get bored.

Me: Oh, I see.

Rilla: But it’s okay because there’s a cure. Rose said so.

Me: Well, that’s a relief. What’s the cure?

Rilla: It’s you reading all the Elephant and Piggie books with me. I’ll be Piggie.

Rilla, crossly: “Beanie made Mr. Duck be all wet!”

Me: “Are you sure it was Beanie? That sounds more like your baby brother.”

Rilla: “No, I KNOW it was Beanie because I was pretending she was my dog and I kept putting Mr. Duck in her mouth.”

Me: I’ll go to bed, probably.

Rilla (gasps): Twelve o’clock at night?

Me: Yup.

Rilla, incredulous: You mean there are minutes in the night??
