Me: Why did you tape that piece of paper over your cubby?
Kat: (exasperated, hands on hips) That’s because too many kids were putting notes in my cubby. Too many notes!
Me: Oh. You mean, you don’t like it when kids put notes in your cubby?
Kat: (silence)
Me: What if someone really likes you and wants to put something there? Like a gift or something? You don’t want them to do that?
Kat: (big sigh of the precocious four year-old) Daaad, they can always lift up the paper and put it in there.
