Two conversations recently overheard:
Ellie: Meg, I'm going to teach you how to be a safe driver, because I want all my kids to be safe drivers.
Meg: Okay.
E: When you are driving, if you see a car in front of you, go around it. Because if you don't, you can get in an accident. And if you get in an accident, you can die. Do you want to die, Meg?
M: Um, no . . .
E: Well, in a few years, when you're older, you're gonna die.
Ellie (to Meg, playing the role of Grandma): Grandma, why do we need sunscreen to go in the hot tub?
Meg: Because it's hot.
