“Spaceship.”

“Spaceship.”

“Daniel, will you stop saying they all look like spaceships when not one of them looks even anything at all like a spaceship EVEN SLIGHTLY!”

“They don’t just look like spaceships, Claire. They ARE spaceships.”

“No they’re not. They’re clouds!”

“They’re lighter than air!”

“Yeah?”

“And they move!”

“So?

“They can disappear!”

“And?”

“And they’re full of space!”

Claire remained unconvinced by her brother’s arguments on the matter.
