Cyan: Do you wanna know what I learned in school?
Me: Yes.
Cyan: When you fart, instead of saying excuse me, you say my bad. That’s the fancy way of saying excuse me.  Say my bad.
Me:  Who told you that?
Cyan:  The teacher’s neighbor.  She’s very fancy.

Cyan:  Grandpa, did you use to be white like Grandma when you were little, before you had a job?
Grandpa:  *Laughs*  No, I was never white.
Cyan:  You were always black?
Grandpa:  I’m not black.

Cyan:  Teacher said futbol is how you say soccer in New Mexico.
Grandma:  I think that’s how you say it in Mexico and other parts of the world.
Cyan:  You’re not from Albuquerque.
Grandma:  I’ve lived here for two years.
Cyan:  But you didn’t go to school here so you don’t know.

Papa: Cyan, your breakfast is ready.
Cyan: (No response).
Papa: Cyan, time to eat. Are you coming?
Cyan: I’m coming. (She presents herself in the breakfast area.) I was busy playing with my dolls. I don’t think you know how hard it is to be a kid.
Papa: (LOL on the inside)

Atticus:  I don’t want to do homework.
Grandma:  Why not?
Atticus:  Because it’s long and boring.
Grandma:  When you get bigger and go to school you will have homework.
Atticus:  I don’t want to grow up and do homework.  I want to be free.
Cyan:  You have to grow up if you want to go to Disneyland.
Atticus:  Oh, ok.
