No, more like requiring proof that she (or any of us, for that matter)
actually has a child. I claim two, but you've never seen them, and
they could be figments of my imagination. Come to that, I could be a
figment of my imagination.

As I've met you, you are either real or you and your kids would have
to be figments of my imagination too.

But then nobody is sure that I exist either (except you, Rupa, and we
haven't established whether you are real).

Well, you clearly don't, Julia, you're too good to be true. You're our

However, I enjoyed meeting you (and a couple of your kids), and so I
guess I'm an illusion, too.
