"We get vitamins from the sun?" I ask, that's a big surprise to me. Ma always asked Old Nick for vitamins when we were back in Room, and sometimes he got them. Sometimes they were really nice and almost like candy, like you chew it up and it tastes a little bit dry but still lots of sugar, those were my favorites. But I remember I heard him and Ma talking before and he said that they were too expensive. I didn't know what that word meant back then but now I know it means that it takes too much money to buy vitamins so it's pretty cool that you can actually get some of them from the sun.

I think I'm going to tell my friends that, it's super cool and I think that they should teach you that in School.

"I guess the sun's like lots of other things then, like it's good to have some but not good to have too much," I say, and I giggle when Papa reaches out to boop my nose. I like when he does that. I don't boop his nose but I definitely stick my face in his beard sometimes, it's funny because it tickles a little bit and it scratches. "Like cake. A little bit makes you happy but too much can give you cavities. Or even broccoli, I bet you can eat too much of that too and feel sick, also you probably get lots of farts if you do that."

I raise my arms and take off my shirt. "Deal," I tell Papa, and I smile real big because I bet my hair's all messy, this shirt's a little tight and it always pulls my hair up when I take it off. "I hope that the sunscreen's not too cold."
