Mary was playing with a couple of Barbie dolls. The two gals were having a conversation that went something like this.....
Barbie #1: "I don't go to school anymore. I go to high school."
Barbie #2: "I go to high school too!"
A few minutes later, I had a conversation with Mary that went something like this....
Me: "Mary, do you know what high school is?"
Mary: "Yes. It's a school that's high."
Me: "Who goes to high school?"
Mary: "Tall people."
Me: "Oh. Is that all?"
Mary: "No. Moms and dads too."
If only life were as simple as Mary makes it. After all, Barbies are rather tall....
