Cora the Eloquent
In the car, driving to the store to spend some money she'd been given, Cora held up a $5 bill.
Cora: Mom, do you think the store can turn this into cash?
Me: Cash? What do you mean?
Cora: You know, cash. Like coins.
Me, laughing: Yes, they can make change.

After a dental check-up at her school, Cora got into the car talking animatedly.
Cora: Mom! They said there's a problem with my teeth. Well, not all of them, just my reptor teeth.
Thomas: She thinks she's a dinosaur, Mom.
Me: What kind of teeth, Cora?
Cora: My reptor teeth. There's a problem.
Me, looking at Micah: Can you translate?
Micah, rolling his eyes and laughing: They said they can't do sealants on her teeth because the molars haven't erupted yet.
Cora: Mom, do you think the store can turn this into cash?
