College

Papa: Bricela, remember that college is also a time to go to parties and have fun.

Sarah (to Bricela): I can go to a party with you and dress me up like a rabbit!

Doll

Sarah, to Bricela: Y me traes una muneca que no llora! (Bring me a doll that doesn't cry!)

Bricela leaves for weekend.

Bricela returns after the weekend.

Sarah (first words out of her mouth): Y mi muneca? (Where is my doll?)

Geese

Sarah: Look at the birdies! (Points up at flock flying overhead)

Papa: Those are geese!

Sarah: Geese? (eyes wide) Geese eat us!

(Why does Sarah think this?)
