5 and 55

My conversation with Lily this morning.. (after she heard me say, "good morning honey" to one of our students) . . .

 

Lily:  "Why did you call that girl honey?"

Me:  "Because I'm an old lady and that's what we do."

Lily:  "You're not old Clare Helen."

Me:  "I'm older than you."

Lily:  "Well, I'm 5!"

Me:  "Well, I'm 55!"

Lily:  "No you're not Clare Helen."

Me:  "Yes I am Lily Bug.  I am 55."

Lily:  "Well that's not old Clare Helen."

. . . it's no wonder I love this girl!
