Okay, I have to share this story.
Alex has been prancing around wanting to pretend to be a medieval royal family. (You know, as one does.) Her first suggestion: "We live in Texas." I explain to her that there were no kings and queens of Texas in the Middle Ages. "Okay, we live in Alaska." No, I explain, no kings and queens in Alaska then either.
"Well, where can I choose?"
"If you want to live in a castle during the Middle Ages, your best bet would be Europe. You could be in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany..."
"Wales!" She is delighted. "We live in Wales!"
I wonder if this is because of the association with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky, but then she goes on to enlighten me. "Wales is where the biggest castles were!"
"It is?"
"Uh huh!"
"...Is that because whales are big?"
"Yeah!" Alex is pleased with my insight and common sense. She prances away to the china cabinet to choose appropriate stemware for a Welsh royal family.
