Back scratch

Saturday morning. Jane and I lounge in the big family bed. Everyone else is up for the day.

Jane: If you give me a back scratch, I'll give one to my stuffed baboon.

Me: Sounds fair.

Nudgie

Alice walks into the kitchen.

Alice: I got a nudgie.

Erin is puzzled.

Erin: What's a nudgie?

Alice squirms and pulls at the back of her pants.

Erin: Oh. A wedgie.

The measure of a day

Two pairs of bare feet pad down the stairs. It's Jane and Alice, still clad in their PJs. They're both very excited about the day.

Jane: Alice! I start my swimming lessons today!

Alice: And, you didn't puke in the bed last night!
