Conversations with an 8 Year Old

• Abby: Hey, I like your shoes. I have the same pair, 'cept they are zebra!
• Vinh: Oh, neat. Except, zebras are a sucky animal.
• Abby: No they're not!
• Vinh: Yes, they are.
• Abby: Zebras are one of the fastest animals on the planet!
• Vinh: Faster than a cheetah?
• Abby: .... No.
• Vinh: Exactly, and I'm sure a zebra's deliciousness and nutritional value are things the cheetah appreciates.
• Abby: .....
• Vinh: And what's up with the black and white stripes?
• Abby: Their stripes are pretty!
• Vinh: Yeah, pretty pretentious.
• Abby: What does.... pretendshus... mean?
• Vinh: Showy, like someone from New York.
