Felix: I wish I were friends with Zara because she's friends with Sofia.
Lucie: Do you want to invite Zara to the Halloween party?
Felix: No. We're not friends. She's always scooding.
Lucie: Scooding? What's that?
Felix: You don't know what scooding is?
Lucie: No!
Felix: It's when you say, "Boys can't play that game."
Lucie: Do you mean "excluding"?
Felix: Yes, scooding. It's mean. It's not allowed at New School but some kids do it anyway.
Poor Lucie was at a yoga retreat Friday through Sunday. Simply forced to go, I tell you. Nana came to help a very relieved Dean with the kids.
