Mom: "After you are baptized, something special happens. You are....???"
Grace: "Wet!"
Mom: "Um, something besides that. It's when you receive the gift of...."
Grace: "A blessing! A priesthood blessing!"
Mom: "Well, it IS a blessing, but it's a special one that we call a c--"
Grace: "Conference!"
Mom: "Noooo.... it's called 'con--'"
Grace: "Conscience? Consider? Consonant?"
Mom: "No."
Grace: "Confused?"
Mom: "Apparently."

Mom: "Would you rather eat a bowl full of boogers or a pile of poop?"
Eric: "A bowl full of boogers, a bowl full of boogers!!"
Mom: "Eeeewwww! Are you sure about that?"
Eric: "Yeah. 'Cuz I already eat boogers all the time. Like this."

Grace: "What if my new teacher at my new school doesn't speak English?"
Mom: "She speaks English."
Grace: "But what if she doesn't??? And what if I can't understand her, because she only speaks Spanish?"
Mom: "If she speaks Spanish, she'll be able to speak English, too, so you'll get to learn Spanish AND speak English." (this is sooooo a moot point, as her new teacher is a perky little blond born & bred in Happy Valley, but whatever...)
Grace: "But what if she speaks CALIFORNIA Spanish???"
Mom: "Eh...What the heck is California Spanish?"
Grace: "Mexican."
