(a chat I had with my 8 yr old)
Mia: Mom!! Mom!! We are in the FUTURE!
Me: What?
Mia: Really Mom!! We are in the future. Like living IN the FUTURE.
Mom: Okay... and why's that?
Mia: Mom, just look at this Pepsi Machine. The arm moved up and got your drink for you, and places in the tube that spins around. That is the future.
Me: Wow... I'm impressed. My drink isn't fizzy. I guess you're right.
Mia: It's going to be a great future. I'm excited to see what they can do with candy machines.
