After an epic 3 hour playdate at one of both mine and Daniel's friend's house in the burbs...
Daniel: "Mommy. What's the Earth?"
Me: "Earth is the planet that we live on"
Daniel: "Is it in outer space?"
Me: "Yup. Sure is"
Daniel: "So do we live in outer space?"
Me: "No. We live on Planet Earth, which is in outer space"
Daniel: "So why don't we live in outer space"
Me: "Um. It's hard to explain"
Daniel: "Well, there are meat eaters in outer space"
Me: "What do you mean there are meat eaters?"
Daniel: "Yeah. There are meat eaters in outer space"
Me: "I didn't know there were meat eaters in outer space"
Daniel: "Meat eaters are really big rocks that fly in outer space"
Me: "OH! You mean METEORS?"
Daniel: "Yeah. Meat eaters"
Me: "There is a difference between meat eaters and meteors" (i briefly explain a few of the key differences). Where did you learn about meteors?"
Daniel: "From Tudor at school"
Me: "Cool"
Daniel: "Well, a meat eater is a T-Rex"
Me: "Well, glad we got that straight."
