Munchkin Musings
There is some really deep thinking happening in Bobbin's brain these days. Here are a few of the deepest thoughts she's shared with us most recently:
On the wonders of Science:
Mommy, isn't it interesting that the moon is up in the air but it doesn't fall down onto the earth? Do you know why? It all has to do with GRAVITY Mommy. Gravity.
On Life and Death
Mommy, if a Mommy dies with a baby in her tummy can the Daddy decide to still have the baby be borned?
On Matters of the Heart
(watching the Sound of Music; The scene is where Capt. Von Trapp walks out onto the patio during his big party for the Baroness, and stands there watching Maria teach Fredrik an Austrian folk dance before he cuts in) Mommy, does the Captain know yet that he's in love with Maria?
On the Basics of Medicine
(while waiting to see her pediatrician about her ear infection) Mommy, I think the doctor should have 2 waiting rooms instead of one and then they should separate all the sick people from the healthy people and then the healthy people won't get the germs from the sick people. How come my doctor doesn't have 2 waiting rooms, Mommy? One for the sick people and one for the healthy people?
On The Economy
(after hearing Tim make an offhand comment about how much he paid for gas this morning) Mommy, if we have to keep paying more for gas, how are we going to be able to have money to go visit Grandma Anne and Grandpa Jerry and go to Disneyland again and do all those things? (I reassured her that by making sensible choices and compromises - like looking for sales or buying cheaper brands or being smarter about what we decide to use our money for, we will still be able to save money for trips and fun things. But I thought it was actually pretty cool that she actually processed the information and came up with a reasonable potential consequence!)
Comments
Just more proof that preschoolers should be tapped to solve the worlds problems! The doctor's office comment was brilliant. She's right. Why aren't there two waiting rooms? :-)
