My four-year-old daughter sat and colored during our astronomy lesson today (Jeannie Fulbright’s Exploring Creation with Astronomy), and I discovered that she has a quite unique perspective on the subject!
Me: Have you ever been inside a greenhouse? (discussing the atmosphere)
Felicity: Yes! Miss Ann’s house! (Our neighbor’s house is green.)
Me: Our atmosphere goes very high up in the sky: about 800 miles. That is very high. It’s more than 4 million feet. Airplanes don’t even go up that high. Only spaceships and astronauts leave our atmosphere.
Felicity: I know who else goes that high - superheroes!!
I wonder at what age we lose the ability to think and process like that–unlimited imagination with few pre-conceived (and binding) notions.
You’ll be glad you’ve blogged this so you can remember!
