A child, maybe five or six:
“Is this a restaurant?”
And another, younger still:
“Does this have waisins?”
I have been assured, by someone who should know, that I would never make it as a kindergarten teacher, because I’d be writing everything down. Too cute.

[Yes, it was a restaurant, of the fast-casual kind. I didn’t overhear the answer about the waisins.]

Alas, there are never waisins when you need them.....
Or when you weally want them.
Rachel, I’m writing that down.
Ruth Krauss (wife of Harold and the Purple Crayon's Crockett Johnson) had a series of books of young school children's sayings, starting with A Hole Is to Dig: A First Book of First Definitions (1952) illustrated by Maurice Sendak, which really got Sendak's career as an artist going.
I love that book, George, and other books of hers too.
What’s really strangely timely about your suggestion: I was planning to post some definitions (of mine) that Elaine discovered in a folder.
