She responded with this:
"But, I'm suuure Mommy would let me if you said it was okay. She would. You're a grown up. But you're not married yet (she paused to ponder this), so you're not a grown up grown up. But you're grown. Like a sister. Yeah! Like a big sister! That's what you're like. So I'm sure Mommy would let me if you said so."
OK, what does this mean? You're only a real grown up if you're married???
Well, she is only five. Perhaps her perspective is a little limited.
