Rose, nonchalantly: “You can just call me ‘Cinderella.’”

Me, waiting in a very long, very slow-moving line in a tunnel waiting to get into the U.S. Capitol: “Hey kids — you know how they call them the ‘Halls of Congress?’ That’s because they have a lot of hallways.”

Me: “That’s a joke.”

Guy on tour with us: “That was a pretty good one.”
