[Car audio plays Bon Iver and St. Vincent’s “Rosyln”]
“Is this holiday music?”
“I’m going to sing the ABCs backwards.”
“Wow!” I thought to myself amazed at what’s to come.
“B….” [and continued to say random letters]
“I’m going to count backwards.”
“Okay…”
“Two…four…six….seven…two!”
[At the hospital, to a nurse:]
“I want to be a nurse when I grow up!”
“Don’t you want to be a doctor?”
“Uh, yeah! I want to be a doctor. Then a teacher. Then I want to go camping!”
Nurse laughs and tells me, “Oh~ she wants to retire and go camping.”
[from a random conversation with my husband on our Amazon Music playlists:]
Me: What is ‘Robotaki’? [I pronounced it ‘Robo-taki’]
Husband: It’s Robe-AH-ti-KAI.
Me: Psff.
[a minute later]
Husband: I thought it was Robo-taki too.
