Aunt Fritzi: Time for your medicine, Nancy.
Nancy: Ugh.
Aunt Fritzi: Go on inside and TAKE it. Be sure to take a whole spoonful.
Nancy: O.K.
Box reads: TOY TEA SET
Literalism isn’t going to help Nancy any more than it did me. When I was six years old, I wasn’t behaving my best so my dad made me go to my room with the order, “Now don’t you be coming out this door.” I eventually looked at the bedroom window and thought, “He didn’t say anything about that,” so I removed the screen and climbed out. Dad was not impressed with my early grasp of specificity…and I thought adults were supposed to be the smart ones.
