Supper discussion

I asked Addison what she learned in school today and one of the things she told me was about a book that they read. Moonstruck I believe was the name of it. At any rate, the animals have a contest to see who can jump the highest and the cow wins so he gets to jump over the moon.

Zachary asks, "why didn't the cow jump over the sun?"

Addison says, "Because that's not how the story goes"

Zachary says, "But he can see better going over the sun."

Addison gets irritated.

I say, "If he tried to jump over the sun, he would get sunburned. Have you ever heard of someone getting a moonburn?"

Zachary, " Oooooh!!! Good point Mom!!"

Phew..... thinking on the fly......
