While I was tying my five year old daughter’s shoes I said, “Be a good girl and give me your right foot.” She responded indignantly, saying, “I’m always good.”

Pause.

She added, “Well I’m always good at school anyway.”

Pause.

She added, “Most of the time.”

I interrupted her because I was afraid what I’d learn if she kept talking.
