How Our Five-Year Old Views the World
Aaron brought home a sheet of paper with an eight-question interview that he gave to one of his "buddies" at Sprague pre-school today. I'm not trying to make fun of his understanding at all; I just found it interesting to experience the world from his eyes.
- Where does the sun go at night? The other side of the earth, because the earth turns. [He learned that from watching Blue's Clues, Meg tells me]
- Why do we have snow? So that we can build a snowman and to let us know that it is winter.
- Why do birds sing? To let people know it's day time.
- How do flies walk on the ceiling? Their feet are sticky [Sounds right. Not sure how he came to that conclusion.]
- Why do you have a bellybutton? I would have a hole there without a bellybutton. [I found this one laugh-out-loud funny--it's like it was screwed onto him in a soda bottling company.]
- Why are you ticklish? Because other people tickle me.
- Why do the stars shine? So there can be light. And the moon too.
- Where do the new leaves on trees come from? Nowhere [Uh, oh: gotta unlearn the idea of spontaneous generation . . .]
