Tonight after preschool Rachel asked to go to Powell's and read books, and I obliged. As I was leaning over her and getting ready to unbuckle her from the car seat, I said, "Do you know how much I love you?"
"How much?" Rachel asked.
"To the end of the universe," I answered.
"I love you to the universe and up to the moon and back," she said.
"Thank you for being my daughter!" I said, touched.
"You're welcome," Rachel said. "Friendship is forever."
Man, this kid knows how to make my day.

I was discussing the end of Daylight Savings Time over dinner tonight and how it's going to be dark for a long, long time.
"Wait until the summer solstice, Mommy," Rachel said. "Let me tell you about the summer solstice. The summer solstice is when it stays late until, like, nine o'clock."
True, that.

"Giada was wearing a black and pink checked shirt," Rachel said, talking about one of her little preschool friends. "It was very dramatic."
