Last night at the market checkout stand, there was a man and his little daughter in the line next to us. The man was emptying the cart and teasing the daughter about paying for the groceries.
Man: I think you were supposed to pay.
Girl: No. You are.
Man: No, I’m pretty sure you were going to.
Girl: No. You.
They went back and forth. When it was their turn to check out, the little girl, with a slight shrillness in her voice says to the checker: We don’t have any money!
Without missing a beat the checker says: Join the club.

Also, if you have time, you should read this story about Alex doing the rock climbing rental thing at the school picnic. It’s very cute.
