Today at lunch, Jack was playing with a car and said, "Up, up to the way!!"
Listening in, I said, "Jack, the phrase is 'Up, up and away.'"
He paused for a second, smiled and said, "No. It's up, up to the way! To the milky way!!"
Pausing myself for a second, I thought, 'Well, at least he's thought about it and his rational does make sense.' Good job Jack!
And to show a little OCD, we got a book today called "How Big is a Million?" A penguin sees 10 fish, a group of 100 penguins, 1,000 snowflakes and 1 billion stars. Anyway, on the snowflake page, the seal says to the penguin, "but I'm sure there are a thousand. (And there really were!)" So wondering if the book was telling the truth, I copied the pages and marked off snowflakes as I counted. I actually counted 1,005 snowflakes but I'll account for a margin of error. (But I'm not counting the page with a billion stars...I'll just take their word for it.)
