Katie: I found out an easy way to refill the little soy sauce jar. You just unscrew the lid and then you can pour it in.
Scot: I knew that.
Scot: (Laughing) Yeah you don’t have to pour it into the tiny hole.
Me: It is kind of like a spout that is its own entity.
Katie: Yeah, I looked inside it and saw the grooves and realized that you could unscrew the lid.
Me: WOW, how did they ever think of something like that.

Me: (Asking Katie about where her classroom is in the building) At the top of the stairs, do you turn left or right?
Katie: The close one.
Me: What?
Katie: It is the close one.
Me: But do you turn to the left or to the right to get to the close one?
Katie: I don’t know. I just go to the closest door.
(At the top of these stairs, she can only go left or right not forward)

(Listening to Tiny Dancer)

Me: Oh you mean Tony Danza?
Katie: I don’t know who he is.
Me: I wasn’t all that in to him anyway. He’s no Andrew McCarthy.

Katie and I were discussing cat breeds.
Katie: I like the Scottish Fold.
Me: I like the ragdoll.
Katie: Whenever I see the ragdoll cat I think of that song by Van Halen.
Me: Van Halen has a song about cats?
Katie: No the song Rag Doll.
Me: I don’t know a song called Rag Doll by Van Halen.
Katie: You know: (singing) Rag doll livin’ in a movie. Hot tramp, daddy’s little cutie…
