We could have Norah!

It is not uncommon for Rebecca to tell Elisabeth that she needs a little sister. (Rebecca has a younger sister of whom she is very fond, and therefore thinks that every little girl needs to have a younger sister.) When Rebecca recently said to Elisabeth, "You need a sister!" Elisabeth quickly replied,

"We could have Norah!"

I don't think it occurred to her that we don't get to cherry-pick friends' children for a sister.
