Max: Is it Daddy’s hair?

Mia: No.

Max: Is it your puppy?

Mia: No.

Sarah: Is it—

Max: Mommy! I’m guessing!

Sarah: Oh, sorry Max. I’m sorry. You go ahead.

Max (turning back to Mia): I give up.

Max: I spy with my little eye…something black.

Mia: Is it this window shade?

Max: No.

Mia: Is it the cup?

Max: No.

Mia: Hmm. Is it outside?

Max: Yes.

Mia: Is it the wheels on the car?

Max: I already said it was outside!

 

Because you see, at night? Outside is black.
