Me: Yeah?
C: You're not listening!
M: You haven't said anything.
C: Before - I *said* get me a belt.
M: Hey Clara?
C: Yes?
M: Of the two of us, which one is the mom?
C: (shyly) ...you
M: And which one is the daughter?
C: (giggling) me!
M: And are daughters supposed to tell moms what to do?
C: (back to shy) ((quietly)) ...no
M: No. You can say "Mom can you please get me a belt?" But you do not say "Mom you're not listening, I **said**..." Now do you want to try again?
C: (quietly) Can you please get me a belt?
M: (cheerfully) Sure!
C: (loud again) AND when *I* grow up I can ask how I want!
Jane finished her lunch so she got to have a gluten free (woohoo!) Oreo. Calvin was not done yet and I didn't want him to see hers so I told her to hide it. She smiled slyly at him, which he didn't notice at all, and held the Oreo behind her back. Then she turned around, hand behind her back fully visible, and slyly walked away. (Fortunately he still didn't notice.)
Clara and Jane are watching this video about different sized stars, and it has a moment where it explains that if the earth was as close to one of these other giant stars as it is to our sun, it would be inside the star and "we would all be very dead."
Clara: Mom, if the sun gets to us we will all fall down and die! So quick! We have to hurry hurry hurry!
Me, laughing: What are we hurrying to do?
Clara: We got to get off the earth and into space where it's safe.
Me: Good idea.
Clara: I will ask the alien to take us somewhere safe from the sun. But before the Earth dies, we must put on our astronaut clothes BEFORE the Earth dies. So. Can we do that tomorrow?
