Zoë:  I wish Baby Doll would hurry up and grow up.
Me:  But Baby Doll is a doll, honey.
Zoë:  I want her to be a big girl, like me.
Baby Doll is, of course, Zoë's baby doll.  I would say favorite if there were another, but she has never wanted another baby doll.  I once bought her one and she completely rejected it -- going as far as throwing it out of her room into the hallway.  It was a beautiful doll, too.  Finally, I gave it to my niece rather than see it constantly rejected.  Zoë has the whole kingdom in stuffed animals, but there is only one Baby Doll. 
So, how do I explain that she will never grow up?
