When walking to the tailor:
Grace: Mommy, why are all the kids saying ‘mzungu?’ Is that another way of saying Hi?
Mommy: No, it means ‘white person.’ They are saying that because I am white.
Grace: Oh. We don’t mind that you are white, Mommy.

Grace: When my baby sister grows up, I hope she doesn’t speak Italian. Because then we wouldn’t be able to understand her.
————————————————————–
Mommy: What was that thumping I heard in your room a little while ago?
Grace: (with great emotion) Just the beating of my heart. Because I hurt my chin this morning.
————————————————————–
Josiah to Grace: You are spitting at me!
Grace: No, I am laughing.
Josiah: But you are spitting!
Grace: (indignantly) Laughing makes the spitting come out!

Mommy to Maggie about college life: You might want to request a women’s only floor. Would you really want to live with guys?
Grace: Yeah, that would be stinky.

Grace was doing a princess puzzle.
Josiah: I like Belle.
Grace: But she doesn’t have any superpowers.
Josiah: I know; I like her face.
Mommy: Why do you like her face?
Josiah: Because she is awesome.
