the gist of the matter

After Iris's swimming lesson, we needed to pick up Lucy from a playdate. Iris was pissed. "I hope you know I'm doing this under protest," she informed me. Her position was that we leave Lucy to live forever at her friend's house, not going to see her ever, "not even for a visit."

"You know, Lucy is just as important a member of this family as you are," I said.

"No way! That's crazy!"

"Yes."

"I don't think Anton would say that." Her almost seven year-old mind was blown.
