A childhood belief about places

When I was 5 we rented a Cabana at the beach and I made a bunch of girlfriends. I went to play with them one day and noticed a huge hole had been dug in front of their Cabana. When I asked their father where they had gone he said, "they dug a hole to China, and said they'd be back tomorrow." I must have sat there for two hours trying to re open the collapsed sand hole to China which had caved in on the sides, to no avail. I was really excited to see they had returned the next day and had plenty of questions for them about China. They just shrugged it off as me being weird, I don't even think they knew what I was talking about!!! What a mean Parent to let me dig for so long in front of his Cabana and not even tell his daughters I was looking for them!!
