Jury duty

I was called for jury duty today. Of course, as I was getting ready, Veronica wanted to know whether I was working at the downstairs office or the downtown office. I told her I had jury duty today.

“Oh, you’re going to Jury’s [a restaurant near our house]? Can I come too?”

“No sweetie, I have jury duty. That’s different than the restaurant. I have to go to a court and listen to people who are arguing and help decide who is right.” (Well, you try explaining jury duty to a not-quite-three-year-old if you don’t like my explanation.)

“That’s easy,” she replied. “I’m always right.” 

And with that, she flounced off in her new princess dress to go play.
