Me: Sweetie, why are you staring at the clock?

Sweetie: Shhh! I’m waiting for the moving sticks on it to tell me when it’s time.

Sweetie: I don’t know. I’ll know when it tells me.
Me: Clocks won’t tell you things…
Sweetie: Didn’t you say that clocks tell the time?

Sweetie: I thought you read books. Now you read faces, too?

MoonCat: Read my face.
