Xanadu


Emma: When I grow up I want to live in a condo in Utah.
Emma's bewildered parents: Why?
Emma: Because I want to live in America.
Parents: Is Indiana America?
Emma: No.
Parents: But Utah is in America?
Emma: Kind of I think so.

later...

Parents: Why do you want to live in a condo instead of our house?
Emma: Because condos are more fun.
Parents: Why?
Emma: Because you can watch Barbie in the Nutcracker in them.

Now it all makes sense. Bama and Pa have a condo, and Emma often watches movies in their condo, ergo condo living = Barbie movies = nonstop fun. Not sure how Utah and America fit in, except that, as Emma explained, "Utah is a place where there are lots of condos."

Maybe Indiana is not part of America because there is no freedom to watch movies all the time in this backward state. In Utah everyone probably watches Barbie in their condos all the time. Can Emma's aunts and uncles in Utah please pause their Barbie DVDs and check on this for us?

Um,yeah. I'm totally sitting in my posh condo watching a Barbie DVD marathon right now. Send Emma over for a visit and I'll show her how we roll in this great nation of ours.

She is so beautiful and grown up and I can't WAIT to see her!!!!
