sizes, Glitter style

In Glitter's world things come in three sizes: as big as a truck, as big as the whole world, and as big as the house. Her most popular size is "as big as the house".

If we're discussing something large, be it a piece of furniture or nuclear bomb, she wants to know if it is "as big as the house?" We could be talking about a ball at the playground or a book that Wander had to use at work, something you could clearly hold in your hands, and Glitter will think that it is as big as a house.

Even more amusing, I recently questioned her and discovered that in her mind, "the house" is bigger than "the whole world."

Oh, and in Glitter's mind, the largest number is six, even though she can count much higher. When offered either ten chocolate chips or six, she chose six, because she thought that six was more. I think that she got the idea because Sparkle is six years old.
