Edward, our fourth boy, (just three weeks after he turned 4) and I had a conversation regarding an ant that had managed to crawl up to the top of the dining table.
"Look, Edward, there's an ant on the table all by itself!"
Edward looks curiously and with the sense of awe I love seeing in children's eyes as the world opens up to them.
"How do you think it got up there? (short pause) Do you think it crawled ALL the way up there? That's a long way to go up for a little ant." Here's a possible opportunity to teach perseverance.
Edward shrugs shoulders and with palms up on either side of him, says, "I don't know...maybe it teleported there."
"Where did you get that word from?"
"Minecraft"
