First

At the National Aquarium today, we saw their new exhibit where you can touch skates, horseshoe crabs, and moon jelly fish. Madelyn was really afraid to touch the jellies because she didn't want to get stung. After I reassured her that humans can't feel the stings of moon jelly fish, she was willing to touch, but every time she did, she jumped back and was shaking. When other people around asked if they sting, Madelyn piped up and repeated me word for word, "They sting but humans can't feel it!"

Second

At least she has goals. I don't know the context, but Madelyn told Tony, "I want to stay alive until I am old enough to die."
