Yeah, so we really want to get away from this typical dynamic, which is the adult is the expert and the child is someone who needs to learn something. So the child is the subject or the person we're going to question or the person who has to answer the question. We want to flip the dynamic and have it be much more back and forth.

And we were staring at them for a while, and she asked me, well, where did the mummies go? And I said to her, well, they're right here. They're right in front of us. And she said, no, I don't mean that. I mean kind of where they went, kind of their souls or their spirits.
