Just before bed tonight, Ambriel walked up to me holding a small rectangle of paper and asked
"Are you the bank manager?"
I of course burst out laughing because who expects such a question from a five-year-old, especially one whose mother does essentially all of her banking online and uses Kroger as an ATM. Seeing her frustration with me, however, I replied that I was if she wanted me to be. I then returned to reading random posts on facebook, absentmindedly answering the questions she continued to pose.
Ambriel: "What is 20 and 20?"
Me: "Mmm...40."
Ambriel: "What is 2 and 2?"
Me: "4"
Ambriel: "What is 30 and 30?"
Me: [long distracted pause]
Ambriel: [piercing stare into my skull]
Me: "What?"
Ambriel: "If you are going to be the bank manager, you need to know everything about letters!"
Me: "You mean numbers."
Ambriel: "Those, too!" [walks off in a huff]
