Bento Boxes, the World, and Other Things Seven-Year-Old Sisters Should Know

While coming home from the live play, The Frog Prince, Grammy asked Arianna a question about countries around the world. I chimed in but Arianna asked me not to butt in, saying that I probably didn't even know what a "country" was. After all, she's seven, I'm four.

In fact, I did know what a "country" was. I told Arianna and Grammy that "a country is a compartment in the world."

Grammy asked me how I knew that. I told her that it's just like a bento box. Bento boxes have compartments and the world has compartments.

The compartments in the world are called countries.

I wonder if Arianna knows that "bento" means "convenience"? Ha.
