semperfionaThis morning while taking Rosa to school, she said, "I want a Java board."
We were passing a coffeehouse at the time, so I wavered between thinking she was talking about the menu signboard and something to do with computers. Eventually I made a questioning noise, and she said, "A Java board. You ask questions and write down all the letters and numbers."
"OHH! A Ouija board! What do you want that for?"
"So I can have answers to all the questions."
"What would you ask it?"
"I would ask it whether I'm going to have a happy life."
I told her that there's a secret about happy lives: they're not something that happens to you, you make them yourself. Then she said, "I would ask it how it knows all the answers."
