It's not wasted if you're learning stuff. You can go to college someday and get a degree. That's what I'm gonna do someday. And then I'm gonna get a good job and work hard, so my dad doesn't have to work when he's old. [Even at a young age, it's clear to her that her dad will always be a part of her life. At this age, it's still an innocent thought to her.] Divorce is when people don't want to be married anymore, so they go to court and a judge splits up all their money and tells their kids where to live. [She looks at her blankly, still not understanding a place so different from her own world.] They could just keep the grain in their pantry themselves. Or cook their food and freeze it.
Most sports need stuff, like balls or pucks or skis, or swimsuits. Racing doesn't though, you just run and whoever gets to the finish line first wins. And with long jump, you draw a line. Then you run up to the line and jump as far as you can. You mark where you land, and then next person tries to see if they can jump farther. And gymnastics umm..I'll show you. [She steps out of the water she was wading in and finds a good spot. She starts with a somersault, then a few cartwheels, following it with a back handspring. She's a a ball of strength and energy from all the time spent in play. When she finishes, she raises her hands high in the air.] That's a part of gymnastics, there's also stuff on the balance beam, with a vault and with rings. And when you're done, you put your arms up so everyone knows you're done. [She stops and thinks.] It's not legal for women to marry women, but they can live like married people do. And in the news, they say someday people will be able to marry whoever they want. Amish are people who don't have electricity or running water or cars or cell phones. What's a Seven Pointed Star?
