three conversations

yesterday in the car:
[Rihanna - Only Girl in the World is playing on the radio]

me: do you like this song?
A: no.
me: oh, do you only like "What's my name?" I thought you liked Rihanna.
A: no. i only like "Black and Yellow"



while ordering groceries:
me: I'm ordering groceries. Is there any food you want?
A: Rice. And veggies that will help me grow tall like a tall tower crane.
me: Ok.
A: And other green things that will help me grow longer.

after school:
me: how do you feel today?
A: [pause] Happy. Last year I was sad because I had a cough. But today I have no cough. That's why I'm happy.
