In the Car

Freya: Mom, you remember how Felicity's grandad died in that movie we saw?

Me: Yeah

Freya: I think I know why.

Me: Oh yeah?

Freya: Maybe all his bones fell out.

Me: Um, I think that's unlikely.

Freya: But then how come he died?

Me: Well, he was old and his heart was very sick.

Freya: But don't you need your bones to live?

Me: Well yes, but that's not why he died.

Freya: Oh. Well, when I get really old probably all my bones will fall out and I'll die.

Me: You think?

Freya: Yeah probably.

Me: I don't think that's something that usually happens to people. That would be pretty weird.

Freya: Can I get a lolly pop at the bank?

Nell, I love the dismissal when the information doesn't conform to her idea! She's formidable - and so dear. A -

Oh, how she reminds me of Elliot. I love the total immersion into a deep topic of conversation and then, bam, we're talking candy. Hilarious.

Love the 180 on a dime.
