20 questions

The girl's favorite game is "20 questions" and they like to play this any time we are all sitting around the table.

The 7 year old always picks the most ridiculous things, for the first 5 or so rounds, the thing she was thinking of was me. At one point, she was thinking of a hippopotamus (eep-oh-poht-u-mahs) and I asked "could you have it as a pet?" She said, "me, yes. my mother, no." She told me she would keep the hippopotamus in her swimming pool.
