From Torontoist.com:
"Overheard in a midtown tea shop where two women are sitting with with their respective children, a boy and a girl. Both of the kids are about four years old. The little boy is talking excitedly to his mother about Santa Claus.
Adorable Little Girl (removing lollipop from mouth, and a propos of nothing in particular): Fire will kill you!
Pause in little boy/mother discussion.
ALG (louder, with enthusiasm): If you go in fire, you’ll be dead!
A longer pause.
ALG (triumphantly, arriving at the crux of her argument): And covered in blood!
ALGs’ mother: Come on, honey, do you have to go to the little girls’ room?
Mother takes ALGs’ hand and leads her away."
