Lydia was pukey-sick for this episode, and I think my delivery reflects some of the stress I was feeling. Sorry about that. Lydia delivers an amazing impersonation of What If World's former president, J.F. Cat, though!

This short chapter contains a surprisingly progressive argument in favor of Believing Children. I like it quite a lot. Irene has the advantage of being a Princess, of course, which works out in her favor. Lydia and I are currently reading Roald Dahl's Matilda, which is great, but the combination makes me feel sad for all the children who don't have genius or power working in their favor in bad situations.

We all love our kids. Sometimes they're exasperating, but so are we. Let's be kind to smaller people.
