Metaphor

Kieryn and Miran were on the bus home and stuck in traffic.

Miran: The bus is a statue.

Kieryn: Why is that?

Miran: Because it's not moving.

Overheard

Daddy: Miran, come get dinner!
Miran: But I'm still playing with my airplane with the tiger in it. Please leave me alone. (said plaintively, not rudely)

Where did he get that from? LOL
