Isabelle: "Let's do speed, Peter."
Peter (with grave concern in his tone): "No, Isabelle, doing speed can hurt us."
Isabelle (realizing her error): "Oh... yeah, well, we could just do preee-tennnnd speed!"
Peter: "Oh, yeah! Yeah, pretend speed won't hurt us! We could do lots of pretend speed!" (with returned gravity) "Yeah, but we have to be careful, um, maybe we could do speed at a playground!"
Isabelle (with alarm): "Pretend Speed, Peter!"
Peter: "Oh, yeah! Just pretend speed!" (thinking for a moment) "Hey, maybe other kids at the playground will do speed with us!"
Isabelle: "Yeah, we could all do speed together! We could do speed all over the playground! That would be fun!"
Perhaps we have been traveling too much recently, or Daddy's having "done speed" a few weeks ago, resulting in a ticket spurred this conversation.

At least they know real speed will hurt them. I guess pretend speed affects them in whichever way they want. They are so funny!
Wait. If they are talking about speed-ing, why will they try to do it at the playground with other kids? On the other hand, if they are actually talking about speed, why are they actually talking about speed? Hmmmmm.
Philip, only you and two other people I know very well would ask the obviously troubling philosopical questions pouring forth from that conversation. Happy studying to you!! :D
