The setup – middle of the night; me laying on Audrey’s bed with her. I picked at something on her cheek.
She asked, “What is it, Mom?”
“I think it’s a little pimple. Go to sleep.”
Wide-eyed, she said, “Mom, what’s a pimple?”
“It’s just something people get on their face from time to time. No biggie.”
“You know what…I went outside with Mona (her teacher) and I fell, and a pimple flew on my face.”
Me: “Ah, of course. Now go to sleep.”

Last night, same setup. Audrey is now picking at her pimple.
“Audrey, stop picking at the pimple.”
“It’s not a pimple, it’s a booger.”
***************************************
Setup – Audrey wants Michael to play catch with her in the living room. She makes him wear a baseball hat.
After a couple of throws, she says, “You’re not very good at this, Dad, we need to do something else.”
