JULIA: Mama, is today the day that my Chipmunk friends are going to kindergarten?
ME: No, that won't happen until after the summer. So after you do swim lessons again and it's summer time, they'll go to kindergarten. You still have a long time to be in class together.
JULIA: And after the THUNDERSTORMS come?
ME: Well, yeah, we might have some thunderstorms in the summer.
JULIA: And sun storms?
ME: Sun storms? What are sun storms?
JULIA: A sun storm is when another sun crashes into the other sun, and the sun explodes, and there's rain coming down from the sun, and there's all gray clouds and thunder and lightning. And after that, the sun wears away and becomes fossils like dinosaurs.
Wow. In this case, it actually seems science and religion have been collaborating. Between hearing us read the books on dinosaur extinction and the Bible stories like Noah's Ark, this kid sure has developed a knack for inventing some eerily apocalyptic tales...
If I die in a sun storm I'm blaming Julia
ReplyDeleteHow does that sun rain? Love Yiayia
