On the way back from the mall, the girls were pretending that they went to the library and got books.
Madelyn: I'm so excited! I've been waiting to get this book for twelve years!
Me: Um, how does that work?
Madelyn: Huh?
Me: You're only six!
Madelyn: Oh, I'm pretending I'm older!
And then, continuing to play:
Madelyn: Let's see what the book says about how old the ocean floor is. Hmmm... It says that the ocean floor is 25 years old!
Me: Um, it's a lot older than that.
Madelyn: But, that's what the book says! Okay, fine. The ocean floor is 250 years old. Is that better?
