So, last weekend was a debate tournament that S was competing in.
Hubby brought daughters K and R to the last round to see S debate. While waiting for the debate to start, the younger brother of S's debate partner was talking with R. She wanted to go home and he teasingly told her that no one was going home that there was going to be a big sleep-over at the church where the tournament was being held. He told her that the boys were going to sleep in the sanctuary and the girls would sleep on the roof of the church.
She put her little hand on her jutted out hip and said, "Nuh-uh! If the girls sleep on the roof (it has snowed that day and was bitterly cold and windy) they'll die from the cold. Then the boys will have no one to talk to. If the boys have no one to talk to, there will be no one to marry. If they can't get married, there will be no children and the world will end."
He wanted to know when she was going to start debating. Clearly she had a well-thought out and articulated argument against his plan. Guess she's picking up debate theory from listening to her older sisters! :-)
