We need to write these things down

Another installment of recent random conversations:

While stopped at a traffic light on the way to the zoo -
Tess: "That sign over there says Do Not Enter."
Dad: "Did you learn that at school?"
Tess: "I sure did!"
_______

We were downtown at the art museum a couple weekends ago and Dad pulled into an intersection to make a left turn while the light was green. Well, we had to wait for so much oncoming traffic that the light turned red before he was able to sneak through. I took notice.

Tess: "Dad! That light was red and you didn't stop!"

A few minutes later while pulling up to a 4-way stop:
Tess: "Are you going to stop at that stop sign?"

The next day on the way to school:
Tess: "Dad, are you going to stop at the red lights today?"

That's when Dad taught me the definition of backseat driver.
_______

After waking up first from a nap, I was standing outside John's door and Dad was around the corner. I asked if I should open his door.
Dad: "Well, is John up?"
Tess: "Yes, I hear his snoring."

And then I proceeded to open his door and wake him up before Dad could explain the situation.

Dad had started us on supper and he was back in the kitchen filling up our milk glasses, so it was just the two kids at the table for a short moment.

Tess: "He said it! He said it!"

[Dad walks back into the dining room]

Dad: "What did he say?"
Tess: "John said vagina."
Dad: "Oh. Where did he learn that from?"
Tess: "Umm...maybe because of me?"
