Dear Diary

Ellis asked me how to spell "diary." She proceeded to write it on the top of a piece of paper and started drawing a princess dress.

E [holding up a crayon]: Mom. Do you think this will make a pretty dress?
M: That will look nice. Purple is a royal color.
E [indignant]: It's VIOLET. Violet Purple.
M [She happened to be right]: How do you know that? Did you remember that from before?
E [As she holds the crayon so I can see the side]: Right here Mom. V-I-O-L-E-T. It says it on the crayon. WHAT? You think I can't read that?

Um, actually.... that is exactly what I was thinking. What other gems of knowledge are in that little mind.
