We're walking home from school. As usual, Jeremy is talking constantly on one side of me, and Abigail is keeping up her own monologue on the other.
Me: I really can't listen to both of you at the same time!
Abi: But you have two ears. Use one ear for me and one ear for Jem Jem.
Me: My ears can hear you, but my brain can't sort out what you're saying!
Abi: Well, use your ears inside that.
Me: I don't think I have any more ears inside that!
Abi: I have a whole museum of ears.
Me: A museum of ears?! That may be one of the strangest things I've heard all day.
Abi: It's an ear room. I can hear the wind rustling AND that car driving at the same time. So you see, I have plenty of ears.

Untamed perception of possibility,
