Out of the Mouths of Babes

Little Uptown, just 4, and I were playing one of those games that's supposed to make her Harvard-ready by age 6.

There was a picture of a fish in a birdcage and a bird in a fish bowl.

What was wrong with the picture?

LU got that on the first try.

What would happen if they didn't get back to their proper homes?

LU: "They would die."

I was shocked. But then I remembered: There is a death at the start of "Nemo."

SU: "What does it mean--to 'die'?"

LU: "I don't know. [shrugs] Nothing."

SU: "You're probably right."
