The Russian neighbor

My 5 year old Russian neighbor was telling me about a cartoon.  She said, “Then the bad guy turned him into кости.  How you say that in English?”  I reminded her that I don’t know Russian.  She said, “It’s in here,” pointing to her abdomen, “and if you don’t have them you look like this.”  She proceeded to wave her arms up and down and sway her body like a tree in a breeze until… “You mean ‘bones’?”  ”Yeah, кости?”

My daughter’s Kindergarten teacher is Miss Riley.  One night…

Daughter: “Mommy, I want you to read me a story before bedtime.”

Me: “Okay, go pick one out.”

She picks out her book, sits in my lap and I start reading her the story.  I only get about 6 pages into it when my daughter asks…

Daughter: “How come you don’t taste the pages like Miss Riley does before she turns them?”
