Kristie: Guess what, Ellie! Daddy said that tomorrow we get to go ride bikes down by the river as a family. All of us. You, me, Abram, and Daddy too! Won’t that be fun?
Ellie: (not sure of the fun-ness of the plan) You can swim in the river?
Kristie: No. You can’t swim in the river. We will ride bikes beside the river and get to see the river.
Ellie: Because? (this is her version of “Why?”)
Kristie: Well…because the policeman said we couldn’t swim in the river.
Ellie: (not satisfied with my reason) Because it is for ducks to swim in?
Kristie: Exactly.
Were there any ducks watching the Truell family ride bikes?
