Julia Explains Metaphors

For those of you not on facebook (or for those of you who just want to read this twice), Julia shows off her poetical prowess:

MADELEINE: Daddy, Katy Perry is really bad at roaring. You know how she roars? She just goes, "ROAR." She doesn't even try to sound like an animal.
ETHAN: Well, I think she means it more in a metaphorical way.
MADELEINE: What's "metaphorical?"
JULIA: Wait, did Madeleine just ask what a metaphor is?
ETHAN: Yes. She-
JULIA: (barely containing her eagerness) Wait, can I answer???
ETHAN: Go ahead
JULIA: A metaphor is when you say that SOMETHING is SOMETHING.

Pause.

ETHAN: Does that clear it up for you, Madeleine?


I think it's safe to say Madeleine totally understands what a metaphor is now.
