[as recorded by Catharine O’Neill, some months ago]
Clara: I found a jewel. When I have my bath, I’ll be a mermaid. You can hide the jewel in the bath. Then I can find it at the bottom of the ocean.
Timothy: OK. I’ll hide it when you’re not looking, or even thinking about it.
C: OK. (pause) It’s time to hide the jewel now.
T: Wasn’t I supposed to hide it when you’re not thinking about it?
C: Don’t worry, I’m not thinking about it.
