Lena: (Baby blue eyes opened wide) Um... do you know what? Come here. I need to tell you something.
Me: What is it?
Lena: I read somewhere that there are purple ants... and blue ants...and even green ants. I hate ants.
Me: Y'know, I heard that in Africa, there are ants that can get up to <-------------------------> this big?
Lena: (Look of horror) Do they bite?
Me: I don't know.
Lena: Where are you from?
Me: Florida
Lena: I'm from here. But my mom is from Georgia.
Me: Really?
Lena: Yes. Her mother was on vacation in Georgia, and started having a baby. So they ran around trying to find a hospital. And they found one. In Georgia.
Me: Wow.
Lena: Gum? It's regular sugar-free kind.
Me: Thank you. How did you skin your knees?
Lena: I was on the blacktop, and I was trying to be faster than Elizabeth, but I wasn't. (Spots a little neighborhood girl walking over to our playground) OH! I know her!
Me: What's her name?
Lena: I don't know. But I know her.
