Saturday, six-year-old Kiley, the second oldest of The Sweeties, was decidedly unhappy about being separated from her mother even for three hours to attend a play with her grandma.
Her grandma asked, “Kiley, I’ve been thinking about going to Denver and that you could go along and visit Sofie.” (Sofie is Kiley’s five-year-old cousin.) “If you’re six and can’t leave your mom long enough to go to a play, how old would you have to be to go to Denver and leave your mom for five days?”
Kiley thought about it for a moment and replied, “Thirty-six.”
