Meteor Shower tips from a seven year old:

~

First of all, where my children get these ideas...I can only trace back to some random Disney movie they probably watched at some point. But now I am wondering, which one has meteors in it???

~
Lena brightly and casually queried over lunch today: "Mom, if a meteor hit the Earth, what should we do to be safe?" (I am assuming she is thinking this is like, if there's a tornado...or if there's a thunderstorm..etc...)

~

I paused and thought for a moment.

"Well, I guess that would depend on how BIG the meteor was."

~

She filled in lightly for me, "Like, if it was really big, we'd all be dead."

~

(I am thinking how strange this is....)

I laugh oddly, trying to somehow keep this meteor hitting earth and killing us all conversation light.

"Yep." I comeback.

She continues:

"But if it's like, a smaller meteor, I bet when it is falling you should make sure you are downstairs in our house. But...when it hits, you should be upstairs."

~

Huh? I won't point out the fact that that makes absolutely no sense. We'll just go with it.

Ok.

Time to change the subject.

"How about some dessert?"
