"Can I tell you a story?" asks J.

"I was in a dark cave," she starts, getting down low to her seat and dramatizing. "I hear BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! It was a bear! And it came closer and closer and I ran away. I ran all the way back to my house and ran inside..."
"...and then you shut the door so the bear couldn't come inside?" A helpfully interjects.
J suddenly is very cheerful. "No! I left it open, and he came inside. It turned out he was nice!"
