I told Grace that she can ask the dentist when she'll lose a tooth, and she said okay. A few minutes later she asks me, "If I'm too shy to ask the dentist when I'll lose a tooth, will you do it?" I said yes, and then asked her if she thinks she'll be shy, and she said no. When I said, "Yeah, you've never been shy, have you?" she said, "No... well, maybe a little one time."

Grace told me that "Girls do this [big simpering grin] when they see a boyfriend." She thought it was hysterical that you were my boyfriend before we were married, and she informed me that Charlie is her boyfriend. I asked her what she does with her boyfriend, and she said they go on dates. I asked what they do on dates, and she said that "... he picks some flowers for me for our wedding in a couple of days."
