The Mintz, Again.

So, today I learned even more about the imaginary family that Julia made up.  If you are curious about the life of the Mintz family, then this is the post for you.

JULIA: Today is one of the Mintz's friend's birthdays!
ME: I can't believe you even think up the details of the Mintz's friends.
JULIA: Well, mostly I think about the Mintz, but sometimes I like to think about their friends, like, when I'm not sure what the Mintz should be doing.
ME: What do you love so much about thinking about the Mintz?
JULIA: I just love thinking about their lives, and, like what they're doing in their lives.
ME: Which family would you rather be part of: the Mintz, or our own?
JULIA: Ours.
ME: Even though the Mintz go to Hawaii and stuff?
JULIA: Even though they have a summer house in Hawaii and a summer house in the Bahamas, I still like our family better.
ME: Even though the Mintz have such a huge house?
JULIA: Yes!  But you know what?  So, Jessica had to move into a room with Lilly, like, switch bedrooms so she shared a room with Lilly, and then Julianna had to move into Zoie's room so that she could share a room with her, because the mom wanted to make more room for guest rooms, even though they have a TON downstairs, and they're really nice, like hotel rooms, and they have, like a kitchen, and a bedroom, and a living room and a bathroom, but they have a LOT of guests, like, from books that I'm obsessed with, so they stay in those rooms.  And, so, they have these rooms that they call their "secret rooms," and Lilly's, like, they call it "The Ghostly Attic" because there's another room next to it that's full of ghosts, and also, if you walk really far into it, there's, like, a beach, and mountains, and she has a collection of antique dolls in her secret room, and one night, at like midnight, she and Julianna and Justina went outside and played this weird game with the dolls, where there's an Emperor who wants to take over everything, and they made the dolls stand on this stone wall and fall into the River of Shoes, which was, like, a path thingy that they made out of shoes, and the dolls fell into it and they did this weird chant.
ME: Uh...
JULIA: Yeah, and their summer house in Hawaii looks tiny!  And then they have their regular house in Massachusetts that's on number 9 Beatles Way!  The second street is a street called Alleyer road, and the next road is called Walkerdown Lane, and the last street is called Honeybee Boulevard.


Um.  Wow.  She really has put a LOT of detailed thought into this imaginary family that she thinks about while she gallops.  No wonder she has a near melt-down at times when I ask her to do something real and tangible.  "BUT I was going to GALLOP!!"  I mean, when else is she going to come up with the names of the neighborhood streets and the secret room paraphenalia and all that??
