Day in the Life of Joelle

Joelle: Daddy, my watch says it's time to go. Daddy: Does your watch also say it's time to get dressed? Joelle: (pause) No, it doesn't say that. Joelle: Mommie, will the juice go all the way down to my toes? Mommie: Yes, it will Joelle: Why? Mommie: Because the juice has to nourish your whole body. That comment made me think of myself when I was little. I used to not understand how aspirin knew where you had a hurt. Joelle pictured herself being filled up with juice, not understanding, of course, the digestive tract.
