Out of the mouths of tweens

The place: The kitchen here at J-TWO-O Central.

The time: Approximately 7:20 a.m. Eastern.

Spouse to daughter: You look very grown up today.

Daughter to spouse: Why, because I didn't get enough sleep and haven't had my coffee yet?

Twelve going on 40.

Btw, after the spouse and I finished cracking up, J-THREE-O immediately asked if I would be putting her comment on the blog -- and said she was totally OK if I did.
