Here’s the best we can make of a telephone conversation Geneva had the other day.

First, she started speaking before she had lifted the receiver up to her mouth, so all the person her was,

G: this is Geneva
Other End: Hi, is your mom or dad available?
G: No. But they’re both home. they’re sitting in the living room and we’re playing with american girl dolls.
OE: Do you think one of them could run to the phone?
G: Well, my mom can’t really run right now.
OE: Could you get either your mom or your dad for me to talk to?
G: okay.
She then spends several minutes deliberating on whether she’s going to get me or megan.
