As it were…

This morning Molly was sitting at the breakfast table, and I was in the kitchen when I heard her call "Daddy!".  I went in and said "yes?".

"I know what people do when they get stranded in Hawaii!", she said.

"What’s that?", I asked.

"They build huts!"

"Do you think Uncle Alan is stranded in Hawaii?" I asked.

"Well, I think he’s stuck, so he’s having a vacation!"

Poor Uncle Alan.
