Her: I want a straw.
Me: You can have one straw.
Her: I want four.
Me: No you can have one.
Her: Ok, how about two?
Me: Ok, you can have two.
Her: I want the pink ones.
Me: Ok.
Aletheia: I’m a big girl.
Me: Yes you are. What am I?
Aletheia: A John.
Aletheia: You’re coughing just like me, daddy.
Me: yes, I am.
Aletheia: (excitedly) And like mommy, too!
Me: Yes. We are one happy family aren’t we?
