Recent Moments with Ramona

The other day, from Ramona:

"Mommy, as I'm looking at that powdery snow on our front porch, it makes me think of Alton Brown's powdered sugar. And when I think of Alton Brown's powdered sugar, it makes me want to watch 'Let Them Eat Foam.'"

Me: "Okay, that's fine. You can watch that."

Ramona: "No -- here's my crisis! I also want to read Because of Winn-Dixie!"

It's torture to be an eight-year-old.
