I'm hanging out with an eight year old. Conversation:

Child: the only bummer about this week is that my sleepover with my friend was cancelled.
Me: I heard. Claire's sister was sick, right?
Child: yes. But this is the second time it's been cancelled!!!
Me: maybe it just isn't meant to be.
Child: why would you say it like that?
Me: what do you mean?
Child: you say it like its a fairy tale. It's not a fairy tale! It's real life!
Even children think I live in a fairy tale world.
