Old Nick: What is that? !s that a birthday cake?Ma: Mm.Old Nick: You should have told me. I'd have gotten him a present. So how old is he, anyway? Four?Jack: Five.
When I was four, I didn't even know about the world, and now me and ma are going to live in it forever and ever until we're dead. This is a street in a city in a country called America, and earth. That's a blue and green planet, always spinning, so I don't know why we don't fall off. Then, there's outer space. And nobody knows where's heaven. Ma and I have decided that because we don't know what we like, we get to try everything. There are so many things out here. And sometimes, it's scary, but that's okay, because it's still just you and me.
