America: Too Cool for School

Evangeline: Mom, do we have to be older to go on a school bus?
Me: Well, we don't really have any reason to go on a school bus.

Beat That!

[Background: Eliana, Hosea and I went to Tennessee for a few days in early August. While we were gone, Chris stayed at home with Evangeline and Anastasia. Ever since we have returned, Eliana and Evangeline can occasionally be heard comparing what-we-did-while-you-were-gone stories. It started out innocently enough, but Evangeline's stories have become increasingly fantastical. We're not sure if this is just another case of the line between Evangeline's imagination and reality blurring or if she just really likes messing with Eliana's head.]

Eliana (skeptically): Daddy, Evangeline said that you went for a walk in space while we were in Tennessee. Did you really go to space?
