No, Ellie

Me: "Ellie, I'm stuck in traffic. If you need anything before I get home, just call me."

Call #1:
Ellie: "Mom, what are we having for dinner?"
Me: "Soup."
Ellie: "No, I'll make myself dinner."
Me: "What were you thinking of?"
Ellie: "Cookie dough."
Me: "No, Ellie."

Call #2:

Ellie: "Mom, where is the rolling pin?"
Me: "What are you making that requires a rolling pin?"
Ellie: "Ramen."
Me: "Ramen doesn't require a rolling pin."
Ellie: "It does the way I make Ramen."
Me: "No, Ellie."

Call #3:
Ellie: "Mom, are Canadians real or a myth?"
Me: "Well, is CANADA a myth?"
Ellie: "Of course not."
Me: "Well, then, who do you think lives in Canada?"
Ellie: "Well, that's what I'D like to know!"

Note to self: check homeowners insurance. Oh, and check into that whole Canada thing. Sometimes Ellie knows things.
