We had alphabet tater tots (yes, they make such a thing!) for dinner, and Sam had the letters S, B, O and O. She put them together and sounded out: SOOB. "What's soob, mommy?" "It's a nonsense word - you just made it up - but you sounded it out just right."
Then she ate one of the Os and I told her I saw a real word she could make (thinking of "sob"). She put together BOS and said with the pride of reading in her voice: "Boss. Just like when I boss you around!"

Adam's phone made it's low-battery chirp and I looked around in confusion. Taking the phone out of his back pocket, he said, "That was me." Sam said, "No it was not. That was your phone."
