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)

Katie:  Is it true that when you were a teenager, you all thought that this song said.”hold me closer Tommy Danza?”

Me:  I never thought that.

Katie:  I thought everyone sang the wrong lyrics.

Me:  I knew it was Tiny Dancer.  Who is Tommy Danza?  (Yes I knew who she meant)

Katie:  Some actor that teenagers liked when you were young.

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…

Me:  I have never heard a song like that from Van Halen and I used to have all of their albums.

Katie:  You have never heard that song?

Me:  I heard the version of it by Aerosmith.

Katie:  OH!  I really thought that was Van Halen.

I Know. It’s Kinda Corny.

Luckily I knew exactly what she was talking about.  The smallest corn stalk finally is getting some corn on it.
