White Christmas 2009: III

Right?
Left is left and right is right. Even in Australia where you drive on the left, it is still the left, right? Not if you are 7 years old. While we were in Australia last month, Amelia saw a sign that read "Turn Left." When we turned left as instructed, Amelia became very alarmed. In her mind we had gone the wrong way. After a brief discussion, we realized Amelia had decided that in Australia left actually means right and vice versa. We tried to explain that left is still left and right is still right in Australia but she's still suspicious. Her evidence: the steering wheel, after all, is on the wrong side too.
