If You Give a Kid a Piece of Paper
Of course, she may stop asking entirely.
She may just take the paper, smile, and start creating. She might fold the paper into different directions, making a brand new-to-her origami shape. Maybe she'll fold a paper airplane, show it to her friends, and then, after showing them how to make one, have a flying contest to see whose plane flies the highest, the fastest, the longest.
Maybe she'll tear it up into confetti and throw an instant party. Maybe she'll cut a continuous spiral in it...
