Conversations in the Car

Peanut was so insightful in the car this morning!  Here are a few gems from our trip to school:

She saw an airplane flying overhead but it was up much higher than we usually see them flying over our house.  It was so high you couldn't really make out the shape of it, just that there was something flying overhead and the jet stream behind it.  She announced that she saw a rocket flying, and when I asked her if she thought it might be an airplane she responded with, "No, I don't think so, I don't see the wings.  Airplanes have wings, but rockets don't."

We were then talking about where the "rocket" might be going, and Peanut said that maybe the rocket was heading to the moon, or maybe a planet.  She said maybe Planet Earth, but that Earth was not a good planet.  When I asked why, she said because there were bad guys on Earth (Daddy has been playing quite a bit of video games lately).  She didn't realize that Earth is the planet we live on, so we talked about how there are some bad guys but there are many more good guys, and that the police officers take care of the bad guys.  

I will have to keep trying to think of the other items she brought up.  Unfortunately my memory is not great these days and I wasn't able to write down the stories right away.  I'll keep trying to remember!
