Overheard: Huh?

As I was walking past Josiah (9) and Grace (5), I caught one small part of a particularly animated conversation.

Josiah: No, the devil wasn't Jesus' pet.

I just kept walking...I didn't want to know.

~~~

Grace is highly interested in reading now, and frequently asks me, "What does this spell?" as she tries to decipher the world around here.
Grace: What does "OBST" spell?
Me: Um...where did you see that?
Grace: In my brain, where I *think*! [gestures emphatically at her forehead]  I really saw it there.
She was had such an intense expression it was hard not to laugh at her. :)

At the library today...
Librarian: Are you having a good summer?

Grace: Yes.

Librarian [trying to draw a little conversation from her]: Have you done anything fun?

Grace [matter-of-factly]: Not yet.

Excuse me?!?! All she and Josiah do all day long is play together!
Librarian [trying again]: Well, have you gone swimming?

Grace: Yes! We went swimming yesterday in someone else's pool, and my friends were there!

And then she admitted that it was fun.
