We were at the playground at Chick-fil-A ("Chick-o-Lay") and Julia made friends with a family of 3 kids (there were guardians too). They were all running around and sliding, and I heard the boy who, at about 6, was the oldest start talking to Julia. He asked her "what's 2+2?" Julia, paused for a short moment to consider the question and said "umm... 5, I think."
The boy's grandmother, with whom I'd been talking a bit said: Jacob you can't ask her that, she's only two. Jacob responded: "She told me she was five!" (I suppose he had no reason to expect she would lie.)
Bored of all the math Julia decided to talk to the young girl, about four or five, all about "Light McQueen" and Mater being best friends. I think this may have been her way of asking if the girl wanted to be friends. It's the suggestion method, I suppose. "You know, Light McQueen and Mater are best friends. It's interesting. And to think, here we are just talking and playing on the slide."
