Otherwise...
Conversation between Arya, Karen, and me, in my car, on the way to meet Sara at the Daleville McDonalds. Here's the story:
Karen bought a used puzzle at a rummage sale, and Arya carried it into the house. The pieces fell on their front deck, and one of the pieces fell right through the gap in the boards. Gone. Too bad.
I told Karen about deck in Florida, the one on the main floor. Since the house is on pilings, it's up high, and there is a screen right under the boards. You can see things that we've dropped for years, but they are unreachable. One of the things is a kitchen knife.
Arya heard us and said: Knifes are for cutting things.
Me: Yes, that's right.
Arya: But not for cutting pets.
(she has a video about pets, and she had brought along two "pets" - a stuffed dog and a stuffed cat.)
Me: Yes, that's right, not for cutting pets.
Arya: Otherwise, we'd have to eat them.
