Lyra Says

Lyra's talking into her "microphone," a giant pink plastic gadget with springwork on the inside that does, indeed, amplify her tiny three-year-old voice.

Lyra: "Yah, yaaah! You can't do this because you don't have no energiiiiiiiiie!!!"

Chris: "You have no energy."

Me: "Why don't I have any energy?"

Lyra: "Cause you need to eat lots of fooooood!"

Me: "That's how you get energy? From food?"

Chris: "How else do you get energy?"

Lyra: "Oh no, I peeled this off..." fiddles with her microphone... "From the sun! The sun helps us GROW!"

Me: "You get energy from the sun?"

Lyra: "And from sleeeeeeping!"

Me: "Maybe you should be the PhD candidate." turning to Chris "How does she know these things? Didn't she just turn three?"

Chris: "She watched a show."

Me: "Oh."

Moral of the story: you don't need an education! Watch more television.
