Today Tiny was spinning a tale about a house a bit bigger than ours with olts of people. Then he starrted talking about golden statues. I asked him where, he said “somewhere else”. I said somewhere could be anywhere, could he be more specific?

He said he thinks Kenya. Then asked me where Kenya was.

I said Kenya was in Africa.

He asked if we were in Africa. I said no, we’re in Australia, but I can show him where Africa is on the map if that would help. He thought it would, so up came Google Maps, showed him Australia, and said see here’s Western Australia, and the red dot is Perth, which is where we live. He corrected me on where we “actually” live.

…

Well yes, we do, but that’s in Perth. Okay technically if you count them as separate but neighbouring cities, then it’s near Perth (seeing as it’s classified as a city when the suburbs that are part of it as a city are included), though if you count it as a suburb of Perth then it’s in Perth, and it’s all very confusing.

Anyway.

I showed him Africa. The entire continent is Africa, and this shape here is Kenya. What the red dot? No, that’s Nairobi, that’s the capital city of Kenya. Kenya is this shape inside the country of Africa.

I don’t know how much he eventually got out of that.
