Adrie watching a TV commercial this morning:
"Mom, I want to go to the casino."
Me: "Really? Why is that?" (trying to think of the appropriate response)
Adrie: "Well . . . I want to go to the casino."
Me: "You know, the casino isn't a place for kids to go, just grown-ups."
. . . pause . . .
. . . pause . . .
Adrie: (with tears literally welling up in her eyes) "But Mom . . . where will I go?"
Me: "What do you mean? You don't have to go anywhere."
Adrie: "But where will go? . . . if I can't go to the casino?" (still threatening tears)
Me: "Mommy & Papa don't really go to the casino, so I don't think we have to worry about it too much."
Adrie: " . . . but . . . if kids can't go to the casino, where do I go? . . . "
