...to write down a notable conversation

...with my very wise first-born.

#1:  Mom, we have been studying space.  Did you know they are going to send a space shuttle to another galaxy?

Mom:  No.

#1:  It is going to take 32 years to get there.

Mom:  That is a really long time.  Did you see this in your Time Life for Kids?

#1:  (pause)  They are going to have to find a very young astronaut to fly it....Like someone in their early twenties.  That way they won't be too old when they finally get there; and then really old when they get back.

I love her innocence...and her thoughtfulness.
