(no subject)

I just went to check mail (no letters!) and overheard the girl next door (about 8) ask her mother plaintively "Um, do you know where the tapwater is?"

I'm very curious to know what answers my friends would have given her, if they had been asked.

I'm afraid my response would have been to make her analyse the words and deduce that tapwater could be found by turning on the tap. This is what was done unto me by my parents when I asked such things.
