There Might Be Giants

Belle: Mom, when do people decide to move?
Me: What do you mean?
Belle: When do people decide it's time to move from one house to a new house?
Me: Well, sometimes if their Mom or Dad get a new job in a different state...
Belle: ...or if they get tired of the house that they are in, right??
Me: (Wanting to make a point about our culture) Well, people might get tired of the house they are in...instead of being thankful for what they have, yes. But I think a lot of times people grow out of their home...their family gets bigger, and they don't have enough room anymore.
Belle: (silence)
Me: Sometimes they probably don't need ALL the room they have, but they think they do...(Belle grows silent again....wait for it....wait for it.....)
Belle: You mean they become giants?
Me: What?!?
Belle: They grow out of their home and have to find a bigger one?
Me: (Stifled laugh) No, not exactly...
