At Least She's Honest

T came home for lunch today, and Z was literally dogging his steps and talking a mile a minute. She has recently noticed that there is a pattern to her school attendance (she's learned the days of the week) and was asking her father why she wasn't in school today. He replied, "You had to stay here so that Mama could have the pleasure of your company. Have you been pleasant company?" Without missing a beat, she replied, "No."
