Harry: I don’t know why Natalia likes me.
Deirdre: She likes you because you’re quiet and smart and an excellent dancer.
Harry: I don’t get it.
Deirdre: You’re the handsomest boy in third grade that’s why.
Harry: I am not.
Deirdre: Who’s more handsome than you?
Harry: Leonard.
Deirdre: Leonard looks like a turtle.
Harry: Mom!
Deirdre: He really does.
Harry: I can’t believe you just said that.
Deirdre: What do you think he looks like?
Harry: A squirrel.
Deirdre: Fair enough.
This is why I love your writing. Yay, Dierdre!
