Conversations with Abby

Setting: Driving around downtown Denver, before picking up Alison from her author's convention. Tall buildings, shops and apartments surround us.

Abby: There sure are a lot of schools around here.

Daddy: Schools? Where?

Abby: All over. Everywhere.

Daddy: These aren't schools, honey. They're shops and businesses and apartments.

Abby: No, they're schools.

Daddy: No, they're not, dear.

Abby: Yes, they are.

(about 5 minutes of silence)

Abby: Daddy, when I say things are schools, you better listen.

Daddy: Yes dear.
