Daddy, can I ask a question?



We are in the car on the way to school and Ava is reading from her American Girl question cards. If you aren’t aware, the American Girl dolls come from different eras in history so there is a pioneer girl, a girl from the 1800’s, one from the 1900’s…probably a cavegirl…but Im not sure about that last one.

Anyway...

Ava: “Daddy, If you could design the next American Girl Doll, what would her name be and what era would she be from?

Me: Hmmmmm.

Ava: "So”?

Me: "Ok…In a world where gasoline has run out and water is the only real commodity, Razor DeathStalker roams the land, a blighted landscape ravaged by the Great Water Wars of 2032. Sporting an eye patch, covered in tattoos of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, carrying enough weapons to invade a small country and assisted by her mutant Henchman Lars, Razor makes her way from town to town righting wrongs, smacking around bad dudes and generally just shooting the place up…How’s that?

Ava: “Uh, can you drop me off here”?

Me: "We're not at school yet…in the middle of the street”?

Ava: “Yes, please”.

Me: “Philistine”.
