Saturn: A Conversation With Spencer

After looking at a book containing a page devoted to the solar system, Spencer pointed to a planet and asked me: "What is that one called?"

Me: That is Saturn.
Spencer: I like it. I would really like to go there.
Me: It's really, really, really far away.
Spencer: Is it farther than Kentucky and New Jersey?
Me: Much farther. It's in outer space so we couldn't even drive there.
Spencer: So it would really be dark when we get there!

I love recording my conversations with my kids. It just blows me away. They come up with the best things! Very cute !

So funny! Bentley said the other day, "Mom, I never want to go into outer space."

"Okay. You don't have to. Why?"

"Because you have to go in a rocket and there is FIRE on the bottom of it!"

Maybe if he knew Spencer was going he would change his mind! :)
