26 and Human

Emma:  "Ella (her doll) is still going potty in her underwear!"
Mom:  "She's not potty trained yet? How old is she?"
Emma:  "Hmmm...I think she's five ... No, she's actually 26."
Mom:  "Wow!  26!  She's getting old."
Emma:  "Well, she's not too old.  She's not like a grandmother.  She's a human, not a grandmother."

Ya...that's funny! After 26 we just all become something other then human. I sortof agree with Emma on this one!

This is fantastic! I love children's perspectives on age... Interesting that she chose the word "human". I'd love to know more about what her definition of "human" is and why grandmothers don't fit the bill.

Thanks for this moment! :)
