Milla:
Do you know what the most importantist thing is?
-
Me:
You tell me what the most importantist thing is.
-
Milla:
Life.
-
Me:
What makes you say that?
-
Milla:
It's Life. Not Mum and Dad, not school, not nursery, not house, not friends, not God. Life. And the world.
-
Me:
What makes you say that?
-
Milla:
Emmmmm. Life is nice. If your not in life your nothing. If life wasn't invented we wouldn't be here now. We're human. We're stardust. If stars we'ren't invented we wouldn't be here. Full stop.

But the man has to give you something.

It's not marriage.

Me:
I have something to tell you. In about a month I won't be going to work.
-
Milla:
That's great!
-
Me:
Why?

Milla:
Because then you can pick me up from school and we can have fun together.

Me:
Yeah, we can have fun together. But we're going to have to be careful with money. We won't be able to have chips.

Why?

Well work is where I get money.

God made people, and Buddah made the plants.

What makes you say that?

Buddah's are good at planting things. They plant wishes. God is good at human's but God and the Buddah's made the first people on earth. And perhaps wizards.

Milla:
I think Christmas is when the dead rise up.
-
Me:
Why?

Milla:
Because that is when the world started.

It's when you give presents to the dead. It's when you give presents to the living. It all add's up!
