This morning before school...
Lucy: "We have to bring the stuff for the gingerbread house TODAY!"
Jason: "We can get it and bring it tomorrow -- we don't have to bring it until Monday."
Lucy: "If we don't bring it today, I am going to be furious. I MEAN IT."
[Brief silence.]
Lucy: "WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP LAUGHING AT ME WHEN I SAY THAT?"
[More silence.]
Lucy: "THAT IS NOT A RESPONSE. I NEED A RESPONSE."
Jason: "It's funny because you just sound so grown up when you say that."
