I've got to write this down

Two funny things from Esther today (keep in mind she just turned four).  After I picked her up from preschool, our conversation went like this:

Me: How was school, sweetie?

Esther: It was tragic.

Me: (wondering where on earth she learned that word) What do you mean? How was it tragic?

Esther: (sigh).  I dunno.  You wouldn't get it, Mom.

And then at lunch, when I asked her if she wanted punch to drink, she replied politely, "I would prefer not."

This girl scares me sometimes. When she's not making me laugh!
