“I wouldn’t say irritable, mommy. He’s irascible, which is different.”
I asked her to explain the difference, and she did so with ease.

My eldest daughter loved words. When she was four years old, she heard someone use the word “decade” and she asked me what it meant. After I told her, she said, “So on my birthday, will I be half a decade?”
