Ellie wanted to explain to me that her friend’s parents weren’t married anymore. They still loved each other (liars) but just as friends.

It was during this discussion with Ellie that Chloe began her fit shouting “Over the books!”

I read her the books over and over. I asked her if she wanted me to read the books over again.

Chloe: Over the books!

Ellie: They still talk to each other but not on the phone because her Dad got rid of his.

Me: Chloe are you done? All done with the books? You’re over the books?

Chloe: Over the books!

Ellie: Like her Dad lives in one house and her Mom lives somewhere else.

Me: You’re over them? Do you want them over here?

Ellie: Love, love, love. Yep, still love each other, that’s what they say.

Chloe: OVER. THE. BOOKS!

Ellie: I think they used to fight or something but now it’s all love.

Chloe: Over the books over the books over the books over the books over the books over the books over the books.

Me: Goodnight Hanna.

Hanna: Can I tell you a secret?

Me: Yes.

As I geared up to walk over the books and toss them one by one out the window.

Hanna: Chloe is saying she wants “All of the books.”
