Scene: Jarrah has just awoken from her nap. I lean over the crib rail while she blinks and readjusts to the world.
Sam: Jarrah, Mommy is feeling sad today. Do you want to know why?
Jarrah: I want lollipop.
Sam: Yes, but do you want to know why Mommy's sad? You know how I teach a writing class? Well, today two of my students decided to leave. We've been together for a long time. It's hard to say goodbye, so Mommy is sad.
Jarrah: Mommy?
Sam: Yes, dear.
Jarrah: I sad, too.
Sam: Why are you sad, my sweet?
Jarrah: 'Cause I want lollipop.
