ABBY: Mommy, I have some sad news.
ME: What happened?
ABBY: Well, we found out that, over Christmas break, Mrs. Shaw's bunny passed away.
ME: Oh, how sad for Mrs. Shaw. I know he had been sick. Did she share that news with the class?
ABBY: No.
ME: Then who told you?
ABBY: (matter of fact) Table Two.
ME: You're at Table Three, right?
ABBY: (in full explanation mode) Yeah, you see ... Table Three heard it from Table Two. And, Table Two heard Mrs. Shaw talking about it with another teacher. (sad face)
ME: Well, did anyone tell Mrs. Shaw that you guys know?
ABBY: Yes, some of the kids whispered nice things to her.
ME: Oh, that was nice. Which kids?
ABBY: Me and Christopher.
