Fly on the Wall

From recently overheard conversations:

Seven-year old girl to eight-year old boy: Well ACTUALLY aliens really do exist, you know.

10-year old girl to sister, we'll call her Sophie, while standing on a very sandy beach: "Sophie! We need sand!"

Which puts me in mind of a report I got from school: "Merlin was a bit whiney in art today so he went outside to draw" because you wouldn't be drawing in art class, right?
