I pulled Curtis around the neighborhood in the wagon yesterday. Paige decided to stay home. I couldn't believe how quiet it was without her. Just the day before, I had to have this conversation with her in the wagon--completely unprovoked.
PAIGE: I don't ever want to live on Neptune. It's waaay too cold there. I would freeze to death!
ME: Why do you know that? Where did you learn about Neptune?
PAIGE: And I don't want to live on Mercury because it's too hot and I would boil up.
ME: Who teaches you these things? [It's clearly not me, because I do not know these things.]
PAIGE: I only want to live on Earth. My favorite country is Australia because kangaroos live there and so do The Wiggles.
Curtis just sat quietly in the wagon. Wonderfully quiet.
