“Daddy! There’s a blue balloon and a purple balloon!”
- the ever-observant Emily, noticing the “markers” for a birthday party house

“That’s right, and how many balloons are there?”
- the ever-educating Daddy, never one to pass up an opportunity

“One, two…Two balloons!”
- Emily

- Daddy

“Two!…”
- Em

“Right!”
- Dad

“…and one makes five, and six makes seven, and eight makes nine…”
- Emily, who apparently doesn’t quite get it yet…
