six degrees of separation

Eric (reading to Evan from "Ramona's World"): "... because in the state of Oregon..."

Evan: "Oh! So Ramona lives in Oregon!"

Eric: "Yes she does. And you know where in Oregon? McMinnville, I think. Because Beverly Cleary, who wrote all the Ramona books, is from McMinnville, and there are McMinnville street names in the books and everything."

Evan: "Yeah. So Ramona lives near Omi and Poppop."

Eric: "That's right. And you know who teaches in McMinnville? Uncle Stefan! He may even teach at Ramona's school."

Evan: "Yeah! He may even know Ramona. He's probably told her about me."
