First Day of School: I Knewed Everything Would Be Good

Me, holding Katie's hand on the walk to school this morning: "Well, how do you feel about your first day of first grade so far?"

Katie: "Oh, I'm excited.  You know why?"

Me: "No, why?"

Katie, whispering out of the side of her mouth even though we're the only ones on the sidewalk, "Because they have Legos."

Me: "What?  No way."

Katie: "Yes they do.  I saw them in my class."

Me: "When we went to the ice cream social?"

Katie: "Yes.  I saw them and I knewed everything would be good."
