"Katie..." Sherry said, trying to sound authoritative. It was a bluff, but...Katie seemed to be rather childlike. "I'm going to count to 3 and then you're going to fix me....1...2...." Katie crossed her arms. "3....4....5...."
"How high can you count?" The former doll asked. "I mean...I know there are much bigger numbers..like twenty..."
"I'm serious, super serious, I will—, I will—."
Katie looked at her. "...just stay exactly where we put you," she said.
"Do you think I'm going to let you do that?"
"I do think..." Katie said. "And you don't have to....dolls don't have to know a lot of stuff... Why don't you try counting some more...can you remember what number comes after ten?"
