John:  You ever seen Jerry Maguire, Sara?

Sara:  I have seen Jerry Maguire. Did you like it?

John:  Well, I can’t really remember. I know that Tom Cruise is in it. And that one girl. What’s her name?

Sara:  Um. Oh. Renée Zellweger.

John:  Yeah.

Sara:  Yeah.

John:  Do you like her?

Sara:  Sometimes. She can be kind of annoying. Do you like her?

John:  Uh. I don’t know what all the hubbub is about her. Do you like Tom Cruise?

Sara:  I don’t like Tom Cruise. You know that in real life, he’s really short?

John:  Yeah.

Sara:  Yeah. I don’t really like that.

John:  You like tall guys?

Sara:  Well, taller than me, hopefully.

John:  Is he shorter than you?

Sara:  No. I think he’s like five-eight. But I look very tall.

John:  So, did you like that movie?

Sara:  I did like the movie.

I feel that I should let you in on a little secret I have. I don’t like Tom Cruise. I know, I know. You must be shocked. But I’ll give you a good reason. He’s way too good looking. In my opinion, the leading lady should always be the best looking person in a movie. Tom Cruise is like a Greek God and his leading ladies never quite look as good next to him as they would next to someone a little less handsome. So there! You know all about my little secret.
