A, from the back seat of the car: Mom, what's a 'telly'?
Me: Oh, that's English slang for television. We say TV, they say telly.
A: Ok, that means that Matilda's dad didn't think she needed books because she could watch their telly.
Me: That's right.
A: But you know what I like even more than the telly?
Me: What's that?
A: The BRAIN telly. Know what the brain telly is?
Me: What?
A: It's what you see in your head when you read books. It's more real.
