Flannery calls zucchini "bikinis" - as in "Mom, I finished all my bikinis - may I have a treat now?"

Last night she came running into the kitchen to tell us that she was making a "big, burny, chocolatey cake". Later I heard reference to a "coffee lemon cake" as she continued her culinary arts.

This morning she asked for a sip of my tea. As I was guiding the cup to her mouth she said, "I'm going to take a sip from the form and void." - she's been memorizing Genesis 1.

Also, she's been memorizing poetry lately and one of them was The Fly by Ogden Nash. Steve, you'll be proud to know that she promptly named the doll that you gave to her "Ogden Nash".
