RELATIVE DISTANCES

When I was about ten years old… ”Violet, you’re so lucky that your parents live in the same part of town!” ”Really?” ”Yeah, really!” //
”Like, you can go visit your dad anytime you want.” ”Well, that’s true!” //
”Where does your dad live, Mary?” ”In Kerava (27 kilometres from where we lived).” //
”That’s so far away!” //
”My dad lives in France.” //
”…” //
”That’s so far away!” ”Yup.”
