Sophia wanted to know what my students and I were doing in the car during our long drive back from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival:
S: Were you listening to the news?
Me: No, we listened to music.
S: What kind of music?
Me: Uh, love songs, I think.
S: Borrrrring!
Me: Boring? Most songs are love songs!
S: Borrrrring!
Me: But your favorite songs are love songs!
S: No, love songs are boring...
Me: I'll turn on the radio. I'll change the tuner. Tell me when you hear a song that you like.
S: I like that song!
Me: Guess what? That's a love song!
S: Oh...
(I let her pick a couple of other radio tunes that turned out to be love songs, too.)
S: Why did you and Mommy want to have two children?
Me: Because we loved you so much, we thought it would be fun to have another baby to love. You were our first love song, and Thalia was our second love song. Two love songs are better than one!
S: Haha. I'm a love song...
