Overheard at the Tea Party

My nephew was the only little boy at my niece’s tea party yesterday. Not to be outdone, he contributed meaningful conversation:

Grandma: Where did you go yesterday, C-note?

C-note: To the gift shop.

*puzzled looks all around*

GPG: What did you get there?

C-note: A sprayer.

GPG: Oh. Where was the gift shop?

C-note: In the back.

GPG: In the back of what?

C-note: *exasperated* In the BACK!

GPG: "The back" where?

Sister-in-law: *trying to run interference* C-note, where do we go to see the animals?

C-note: The zoo. Duh.

Oh. Of course.
