When Amanda was over visiting recently, I asked her if she wanted something and spelled out the “something”. Not missing a beat, Amanda said the word and then said, “yes?” Something like, “You said,  ’cake’ and what of it?” Ken and I laughed and told her that we spelled words when we didn’t want Reid to know what we were discussing, not when we wanted to test our friends. It’s funny the things that are sort of reflex for parents and just odd for people without kids.
