This is the conversation my sister, Mandie, had with Gretchen (5 years old) and Becca (4 years old). They, incidently, are sisters.
Gretchen: Guess what.
Mandie: What?
Gretchen: I can read now.
Becca: (high voice full of wonder) You can?
Gretchen: Yep.
Becca: Who taught you?
Gretchen: My teacher.
Becca: That's cool.
Gretchen: Yeah.
I guess this whole reading thing that was such a revelation to Becca must have happened in that six hours the two of them were apart yesterday. *grins*
