Olive said, "You don't really know 'best'. You just know 'okay'."

Me: "How early do you remember? Do you remember when you lived with Mim & Papa?, and your room was upstairs?"

Olive: "Huh?! I thought we were born to YOU!"

Passing back food at the Wendy's drive thru:

Me: "Olive, cheeseburger, plain..... Asa, hamburger with everything.... Ivey, just ketchup."

Ivey: "No! This isn't mine! It's not just ketchup!"

I inspect... it's just a hamburger with ketchup. I then look at her, confused.

Ivey: "It's NOT just ketchup. There's MEAT on this one. I JUST wanted ketchup."

Olive: "How did you know how to do that?! Oh... you're a mommy. You know everything....

Except bears.

I don't think you know anything about bears."
