Paper

She holds out a scrap of paper as though to hand it to me.

"Paper," I say.

She looks at me quizzically.

"Paper," I say again.

Slowly she says... "Paaa ... per..."

"Yes, paper, that's right."

"Paaa ... pe..."

"Paaa ... pe..."

"Good girl."

Ten minutes later, she holds out a scrap of paper to her daddy.

"Paper," I say.

"Paper," he says.

"Paaa... pe..."

"Paaa... pe..."
