Magical Thinking

Cate to her sister, Eden: “If you can lick your elbow with your tongue you are a fairy!”

Eden: “Nuh-uh. If you can lick the tip of your elbow, then you are a fairy.”

Cate: “No, if you can lick this part of your elbow with your tongue you are a tree fairy, and if you can lick the tip of your elbow with your tongue you are a sky fairy.”

Me: “Did you guys read this in that book Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg ?

Cate: “No.”

Me: “Did you two make it up?”

Cate: “No. (pause) It’s true.”
