Oh, bar-nick-alls! (Oh, barnacles!)

Grace wanted to color today and all I could find was a pencil.  So I gave it to her along with a piece of printer paper and let her draw to her hearts content. 
She sat on our bed happy as a bumblebee in a flower garden just drawing away.
Then Grace said, "Oh bar-nick-alls!" (Oh, barnacles!) while looking at her pencil.
And she held her pencil in her left hand while rotating her right hand in small circles next to the pencil.
After several revolutions, she held the pencil up to her mouth and blew.
And then she calmly went back to drawing on her paper.  It took me a minute to realize that she was pretending her pencil lead broke and she needed to resharpen it.  She even blew off the imaginary shavings!  Every day she does something to amaze me...
