That's My Newses

Audrey and I were making our grocery lists at the table... This involves me making the weekly list, and Audrey making her version ("Mommy, how you spell marshmallow" "Mommy, spell brownie" "Spell fudge for me, mom").
In the middle of it, Audrey dramatically lays down her pen, and says, "Mom, I gots good news, and I gots bad news."
So, out of respect, I put down my pen, look at her seriously, and say, "Go ahead Audrey, tell me the news."
"Well... The good news is that I had good dreams last night. The bad news? Is I had some bad dreams, too." She is drop dead serious.
There was a brief pause...
"And that's my newses."
It took just about everything I had to keep a straight face...
