Over dinner, Lynne and Mark were discussing Peter Pan. Mark, of course, had lots of questions. He wanted to know what a nursery was, so he could better understand why Wendy didn't want to grow up and leave it. Lynne explained that wealthy people at the time when Peter Pan was written had their kids sleep and play in a room called a nursery, and they'd hire a nanny to watch the kids and sleep in the nursery with them. You moved out of the nursery when you were big enough not to need the nanny anymore.
Mark: Well, when was Peter Pan written?
Lynne: I don't know that off the top of my head, Mark. Probably about 100 years ago.
Mark: What about the bottom of your head? Does the bottom of your head know the answer?
