If I am home when Sara comes home from school, she comes right up to me and tells me the highlights of her school day.
Seven-year-old Sara: "I'm glad God made the Devil, because it gives all the mean people somewhere to go when they die: straight to Hell!"
Sara to Dad: "Ask me any math problem. It has to be a plus, and it has to be less than twenty."
Dad to Sara: "4 plus 12?"
Sara replied, "How about 12 plus 4?"
"Okay."
"16!"
"Why did you prefer 12 plus 4, instead of 4 plus 12?"
"Because it is the same thing!"
Sara: "The only time I like school is when Nathan is not there."
Dad: "Why?
"At school I was sitting down at my desk, and I wanted to play the card game Goldfish. Nathan had the cards, and he was passing them out to people, but he didn't pass any to me. I asked if I could play. He said yes. Then, he refused to give me any, so I walked back to my desk, and he said I was ranipulative."
"Do you mean "manipulative?"
"Yeah."
"Actually, there are two bullies at school. One is a girl. Her name is Emily. She grabbed the end of my swing and twisted it and I fell and got hurt. Then she said "I am eight-years-old, and you're probably just a four-year-old, and I'm not inviting you to my birthday party, because it is only for my family." "She stuck her nose in the air as she said that."

I'm rolling over the math thing. Sounds like something I would have said.
