Jennifer E. Smith Quote
Above them, one of the blackened television screens brightens, and there's an announcement about the in-flight movie. It's an animated film about a family of ducks, one that Hadley's actually see, and when Oliver groans, shes about to deny the whole thing. But then she twists around in her seat and eyes him critically.There's nothing wrong with ducks, she tells him, and he rolls his eyes.Talking ducks?Hadley grins. They sing, too.Don't tell me, he says. You've already seen it.She holds up two fingers. Twice.You do know it's meant for five-year-olds, right?Five- to eight-year-olds, thank you very much.And how old are you again?Old enough to appreciate our web-footed friends.You, he says, laughing in spite of himself, are a mad as a hatter.Wait a second, Hadley says in mock horror. Is that a reference to a...cartoon?No, genius. It's a reference to a famous work of literature by Lewis Carroll. But once again, I can see how well that American education is working for you.
