Conversations: In the Car on the Way Home from Swimming Lessons

Ya Ya:  Mom, how deep is the deepest puddle in the world?

Me:  Well, I really don’t know?

Ya Ya:  Well, why don’t you know things that I need to know?

Me:  Well, I don’t know everything.

Ya Ya:  Hrrrrrmmmmph.  I CANNOT wait until I’m in 7th or 8th grade, and then people will finally know the answers to my questions.  Those teachers have to be smart.

I didn’t think it was a good time to bring up the fact that I used to love teaching 7th and 8th graders.
