Overheard
Three days ago:
EMMA: Dad, can I have another piece of candy?
ME: No. You've already had a lot of junk food today. It's not good to eat too much junk food.
EMMA: Why not?
ME: Well, it's not healthy. If we eat too much junk food it can make us fat and uncomfortable.
Today at church:
EMMA, REFERRING TO THE SPEAKER AT THE PULPIT: Dad, that person ate TOO MUCH junk food.

He put them on at the store for the first time today and looked around in absolute amazement. During the drive home, he said things like "That building is made of bricks!" and "I can see individual pebbles, not solid color!"
