Lydia,” I said into the back seat, “if you could write a story, what would your story be about?”
She thought for a moment, “I would write… about a fairy. A Princess Fairy!”
I should have guessed. “Okay, and what would this fairy princess be like?”
“Hmm, well, she would be like me I guess.”
I nodded, “that’s a very good idea,” I told her. “And what would this fairy do?”
She quiet for a few seconds and then said very slowly and very plainly, “Well, she would sneak into people’s rooms at night, while they are sleeping, and then she would HURT THEM!”
I was so startled I nearly drove the car off the road. “Oh my goodness, you mean she would be EXACTLY like you?”
