the fairies

While observing a child play so nicely I thought 'she must have siblings' so here was our conversation:

Me: [Student X], do you have a sister or brother?
Student very excitedly with exaggerated arm movements: No! But! My mommy is going to get me one. She said I have to learn how to take care of my babies first. You know they are just dolls but...
Me: Well, when your mommy gets you a baby are you hoping for a brother or a sister?
Student looking at me a little concerned: Oh! The fairies decide that.
