Lucy: "Pioneers lived a long time ago in ancient times, the eighties."
Lucy: "Mom, can I take these electric candles down to my room and turn off the lights and make it dark and pretend that I'm... poor?"
It makes me a little sad to think that one day, I will have to drag details out of Lucy. She doesn't always offer many details about school or playing with her friends, but I still can get full-fleshed six-year-old thoughts out of her, and I love it.
So, if anyone needs Lucy right now, she is down in her room with the lights off using electric candles to look at her Halloween candy, pretending that she's poor.
