When our youngest daughter was about four years old, we were flying to California on vacation. The morning were getting ready to leave, she kept running and looking out the door every few minutes. Finally she reported, "It's not here yet!" We came to find out that she thought the airplane would come to our house like a taxi and pick us up.
