K: Momma, I love ‘rades.  By the library.

Me, shaking away visions of vikings attacking the library front steps: K, what do you mean by ‘rades?

K: They give you candy, and a flag of your own to wave.  I love ‘rades.

Me: Do you mean parades?

K: Yes, P’rades.  I love rades.  When can we go to the ‘seum?
