The final frontier


Dad, remember the space shuttle we watched take off? Well it is IN SPACE!
I know. It's very exciting.
I would like to go to space. I would fly to the moon.
Did you know that people have been to the moon?
REALLY?
Yes. They took off in a rocket and landed on the moon and got to walk around. They even played golf.
But you can't go on the other side of the moon.
You can't? Why not?
Because it's dark.
Because it is dark.
Yes. The sun only shines on one side of the moon and there is no light on the other side and if you went there you would trip.
Well, do you think the astronauts might take a flashlight with them?
Dad. There is no electricity on the moon.
There isn't?
No. All the electricity is in space and it comes down to earth and goes in the ground and then we get to use it here. It's not on the moon.
But you don't think they could take some batteries with them?
Dad. You just don't understand.

Playing with dolls

Thor (Racheal): I'm hungry. We should get some food. Let's go to the store.
Cinderella (Kaylee): No, we don't go shopping. We get our food from animals.
Thor: Oh, you hunt and fish for your food?
Cinderella: Well, Prince Phillip goes hunting. I don't. I don't want to get blood all over my beautiful dress.

What really matters in life



Daddy, is Eddie dead today?
Yes, honey. Eddie died.
Did you and Mommy already drop him off?
Yes, we took him to the vet and he died there.
Oh.
Daddy?
Yes, Kaylee.
Is Transformers still on TV?
No honey, that was a special show for the holiday.
AW MAN! I like that show.
