Holiday weekend
Written by hootenannie on July 5th, 2010As we waited for the sun to sink in the west, 4-year old Kate asked me why the fireworks hadn’t started yet.
“Because,” I explained, “the sky is still light. The sun needs to travel all the way to California before it will be dark.”
I felt proud of my explanation – until little Annabelle piped up, “I thought the EARTH turned.”
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I was owned by a 6-year old.
For the rest of the details of my holiday weekend, watch this:
