Dad, Mom, and us older kids watched The Martian on a filter together the other night. The next morning we were still discussing space travel, the theological ramifications of aliens, and different kinds of technology. Blue was busily eating her breakfast and not really paying attention to what we were talking about.
Someone mentioned water on Mars.
Dad: Yes, but it's mostly frozen at the poles since it is so cold there.
Blue, looks up from eating and yells: Ice-skating!!!
The conversation took a rabbit trail for a moment as we all laughed and imagined together what it would be like to balance on skates in a space suit. ; )
She's also been keeping us entertained in other ways like writing me notes during church in elaborate kid cursive to ask for something or imitating one of our favorite tenors as she goes about her day. (He has something of a jazzy twist to his style, and she can do it perfectly; though maybe not as well as she does Golde from The Fiddler on the Roof.) She also sings a crazy cowboy song from a vintage TV show, and it's even better when she has a sore throat. ; )
Love the littlest! ;)
I love the ideas little kids get! They are so much fun. Ice skating in a space suit. Hmm. Now that's an interesting thought. :)
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm spending a day and a half with my nephews right now, and my story bank is filling up quickly. ;)
