For days, Riley's been pestering me about the attic. She wants to see it. Our attic is more like a crawl space. We don't have a thing up there. We never use it.
"But Mom, please! I really want to look."
Finally I sat her down. "Why do you want to go up in the attic?"
"Because I want to see the treasure chest full of dress up clothes."
"Riley, there is no treasure chest full of dress up clothes in our attic."
"Well, how about a moose head? Surely there's a moose head?" (she actually says "surely," this is how she talks). (surely edited from "surly" per Carrie Link).
""No there isn't. No moose head."
"But all attics have moose heads!"
Clearly, she has to stop reading so much.

Or not!
You don't have a moose head in your attic? You are a strange household indeed!
I think Riley should watch more tv-I'll pay for the extra cable.
Or she should read much, much more!
I LOVE that girl. LOVE her.
Unfortunately, I lost my moose head in my last move, or I'd send it right over.
Riley is the coolest.
Can she come over and play with my Ms. M? M used the word "forsooth" in a sentence the other day. Riley sounds amazing.
I think they'd groove on each other. Big time.
I can't believe you don't have a moose head. How do you sleep at night?
what, after all, are attics for if not for storing mooseheads?
