Sarah noticed that Anna's antibiotic had a flavoring added to it: caramel-orange-raspberry (?!). She wondered what Anna thought of it. "Does your medicine taste good?" Anna explained, "Not really. It kind of tastes like rotten wood." Lane reminded me of another time when Anna had told him her medicine tasted like "the wall."

One of the great parts of having friends from another country is how a young child thinks about the possibility of a country besides their own. I love how this is shown. Nate was late getting home from school. "Where is Nate? Where is that boy?" I wondered outloud, a little annoyed. "Maybe he's in Korea," Anna suggested.

Peter was headed off to school after I dropped him off at the curb. He paused, then turned and called out: "Do I still get to go to playgroup?" "Yap!" I answered, a little surprised by what came out of my mouth. Yap? I guess that's what comes out when you think "Yeah" and "Yep" at the same time. Kind of like the Electric Company: "yeah" + "yep" = "YAP!"
