We went out for pizza tonight and on the wall of the restaurant, there were really cute sayings. One of them was “kwityerbellyachin” (or “Quit your belly aching”). Mark read the sign aloud and started laughing. Ace was being whiny, so Mark joked with him about the sign.

Zoe patted her tummy and said, “No, daddy, my belly feels fine right now.”

She asked me again, today, why I read without talking.
