DAUGHTER
Why do all of theses buildings look the same, Mommy?
WIFE
Well... in newer towns they sometimes have a person who is the developer who designs certain areas to look alike.
DAUGHTER
I don't like it. Why doesn't Oakland look like this?
WIFE
Oakland is a lot older than this area. So, some buildings that were built a long time ago now sit next to newer buildings that have a newer style.
DAUGHTER
Well, Mommy, don't you think Oakland is the most beautiful city in the whole world?
WIFE
No, actually, I think there a lot of cities that are more beautiful than Oakland...
DAUGHTER
Mommy, don't you think you're hurting our house's feelings?

So my Daughter thinks that Oakland is the most beautiful city in the world, and my Son thinks that the culmination of illegal fireworks on the fourth of July is "the best night ever." Oh, to be five again.
