Olivia: Last night I had a dream that I picked Kaitlyn up by her feet and dropped her and then her face turned into paper. Sometimes I dream when I am awake. When I am awake and I dream that there is a spider then it goes into my heart, but when I am asleep it is just a dream.
Kaitlyn: I want Let It Go!
Me: I'm coming.
Kaitlyn: I need Let It Go!
Me: This IS Let It Go. Be quiet and don't mess up your jam!
Gretchen: Jam?!
Olivia: What is jam?
Me: In this case it's music, but normally it's jelly.
Bryan: English is stupid.
Me: It could also be a traffic blockage!
Olivia: The snow got tired of standing, so it decided to lay down and fell on the ground.
