Conversations I had today with my kids:

Omar had written the word "I" as "a." (A went to the store.)
Me: What letter do you think spells "I?"
Omar: A?
Me: No. What letter do you think spells "I?"
Omar: E?
Me: Oh, dear. We have a lot of work to do.

We were writing penpal letters today.
Me: Priya, your penpal asks if you know how to sing.
Priya: Hums to herself. No.
