Madalynn's Vacation Request

"Mom!" Madalynn said from the back seat of the van.

So many great and meaningful conversations happen in the van. They ask these thought-provoking question and they have no choice but to listen to my complete response. This time, though, no response was necessary.

"What Honey?"

"I know where I want to go on vacation sometitime."

"Really," I asked, "Where is that."

"I want to go see the Statue of Miss America. You know, that tall one that has a sash and is on an island."

"You mean the Statue of Liberty?"

"Huh?" She asked with a confused look. "The Statue of Miss America, you mean?"

"No. I said the Statue of Liberty."

"Oooooh." She said, the light coming on. "I thought she was the Statue of Miss America because she has a sash like Miss America!?"
