Odd Moments II
Melina: Mommy, can someone run out of nail polish?
Me: Um, yes.
Melina: What happens?
I paused here, thinking that Tara is right. A story from the point of view of Melina would be, at least in our opinion, priceless.
Me: Well, if we run out, we go to the store. But if the store runs out, they need to get it from the factory. If the factory runs out, well, I guess they'd have to make more.
Melina: Can we go to the store and get more nail polish?
Me: We haven't run out yet.
Melina: I hope no one ever runs out.
What a world, to run out of nail polish! And to have that as her only worry. Quite the life! Odd to me, normal to her.
