Fact or Fiction?

Jay was reading the kids stories tonight. He likes to tease the kids when he reads by substituting their names into the story. This has caused problems for me when reading books with lily pads, but that's beside the point. Tonight when Jay was reading Harry the Dirty Dog and he said "Oh look there's Lily and Ryan!" pointing to the picture of the children in the book. Ryan got very upset in that way he gets when he is playing with his daddy and he insisted, "They are not us!"
"How do you know?" Jay asked.
"Because that book is fiction and WE ARE NOT FICTION!" replied the oh so precocious Ryan.
I happened to be snapping pictures tonight and this is the moment following that declaration.
