A Conversation Between Kate (Age 6) and Some Kid (Age 3) at the playground

KID: BUT HOW CAN YOU BE SIX WHEN YOU'RE AS TALL AS ME!
KATE: Ugh. I was born with something called dwarfism. And what it is-- (KID runs off, then returns)
KID: BUT YOU'RE NOT TALLER THAN ME!
KATE: I don't think you know anything about dwarfism.
KID: I KNOW ABOUT SOMEONE WHO DIED WHO MY MOM LIKED! A LOT!
KATE: Ugh! You don't know anything about anything!
KID: THAT'S NOT TRUE! I KNOW THAT MONSTERS AREN'T REALLY ALIVE!
KATE: Oh brother. Never mind.
