And Says

Selah spent four days with Papaw and Grandma while Mommy was away on a trip and Daddy worked. Of course, Selah didn't stop talking. And, courtesy of Papaw, this is what she said:

A rainy day. Papaw and Selah are in the study writing a letter, Papaw and pen scrunched over a blank piece of paper, Selah and pen scrunched over another. Papaw writes slowly and says each word. Selah scrawls slowly and repeats each word. "Dear Selah," Papaw says, writing. "Dear Selah," Selah says, writing. "Please be advised," Papaw says, writing. "Please be advised," Selah says, writing. "That you are a major..." Papaw says writing, pausing. "Kumquat," Selah says, looking up at Papaw.
