Punctuation

At bedtime, while reading stories, I've been talking to Cole and Amelia about punctuation. Pointing out apostrophes and quotation marks and exclamation points all in the name of literacy. (Yes, I do realize they're only four and two...)

Anyway, earlier this week, I was driving Amelia to daycare in the morning and she was holding her doll in the back seat.

She declared suddenly, in her sing-song voice, "My dolly has eyes!"

"Yes, she does," I answered.

"And a nose."

"That's right. She does have a nose too."

"What are these?" she asked.

"I can't see, Amelia. I'm driving. Can you describe them to me?"

She thought for a moment then said, "They're..... eyes.... quotation marks!"
