Read ’em and eat
Iris learned to read. She practices on the spines of cookbooks during dinner. Recent observations:
“If you want to know how to cook everything, just read that yellow book.”
“That book is called How to Eat, but everybody knows how to eat.”

Perhaps you should write something else for her to read?

Hey, Dana, thanks! But I have to decline: the urge to procrastinate is strong, but for the next week I’m down in the bunker. Oh, I will answer the billionaire question, though:
I’m extremely skilled at not making a billion dollars. One of my most likable traits.

Oh, I think I have that yellow book — would it be Mark Bittman.

That is amazing! She’s not even 5 yet, is she? I do realize she has good reading genes, of course…

I thought I was a genius when I was Iris’ age because I identified the “PUSH” word on garbage cans at McDonald’s as meaning “GARBAGE.”
Which, come to think of it, is pretty much what Mickey D’s is.
