Hannah's reading gets better and better all the time. Which makes for some interesting conversations:
H: Tropical Tan. What do they do there?
Me: [Short explanation of tanning.]
H: Is that good for them?!? [said with a great deal of incredulity]
Me: Not really.
H: Why would people do something that's bad for them?
Me: Well, if they just do a little, it's not too bad, but often people overdo it.
H: What does "overdo" mean?
Me: Well, for instance,...
H: Like if I ate all my Halloween candy at once and didn't have any for another day?
Me: Yes, and not only would you have no more candy, but you'd probably also have a stomachache and feel pretty rotten.
Here's another one:
H: [Looking at the instructions on the placemat, which tell us to use eraseable market, then wipe with a wet cloth] Why do they tell us what to do with this placemat? It's our placemat.
Me: Who made the placemat?
H: They did.
Me: So who probably knows best how to use it?
H: They do.
Me: So they include instructions so that we'll be able to use the product properly.
