Me: Like, you mean, you hold up the phone to something and…

Bassie: Yeah, and you see it on the screen bigger. They must be able to do that, right?

Me: I guess. I think so. That’s a really great idea. You should develop apps.

Bassie: Mm-hmm.

We look in the app store.

Me: Oh, yeah, here are two.

We download the free one. And Basya, rather than resentful that someone else made it before she could, is thrilled that someone with the skill to execute it has thought of the same brilliant idea she has.

Oh, to be young and idealistic and lacking in hubris.
