N plus O equals NO

One of those mornings where you just need a restart.  Riley was throwing fits and crying really loudly since she couldn't get to sleep until 10pm.  Julia was sniffly and wanted four gummies - not two - so she was crying.  Madi got a short, stern lecture about being grateful and not taking things for granted.  We definitely needed a better night of sleep and a restart on our morning.  All of us.

We get in the car and the girls and I are eating breakfast.  Riley starts putting letters together and asking what they spell.

R:  What does Q and O make?
Me:  Qo!
R:  What does P and O make?
M:  Po.
R:  What does S and T make?
M:  St.

And on it went until...

R:  What does N and O make?
M:  No.
R:  MOM, what does N and O make?
M:  It makes no.
R:  MOOOOMMMM!  Ugh!!!  Tell me what N and O make!
M:  N and O make no.  Riley, it makes the word no.
R:  Mom.  You are sooo mean!
M:  When you put the letter N with the letter O, it makes the word no.
R:  I'm not listening to you anymore, Mom.  You're so mean!!

Madi and I were giggling in the front seat.  I explained why she was so cute and after many attempts to demonstrate that N and O actually create the word no, Riley started to giggle too.
