Noah and the Note

Last Sunday my wife was demonstrating how smart our 5-year-old granddaughter is. On the way home from Sunday morning service she asked Brittany, "What did the dove bring back to Noah?"
"A note," Brittany answered.
"A note?" her grandmother asked. "I thought he brought back a twig with a fig leaf on it."
"He did," Brittany said confidently. "But God wrote Noah a note on the leaf.
Told him He wasn't going to make it rain like that anymore, so they could come out now."
