Kids are so confidant in their understanding of the world. It's lovely and eye opening to see how their world get nuances. And then they throw you a naive surprise when you least expect it. :)

They are the age where each have their (ideal) city. (I guess I'm also at that age.) They talk about how in their city they speak X language or multiple languages. Or how public transportation operates there (a mixture of trains and taxis). They no longer believe ATMs give free money. And save money for their toys…

And then during snack time I was telling K how they shouldn't have chocolate because they already had a Popsicle at their spring break camp when it occurred to me to ask the kids if they know how these things are made. With all the confidence in the world one of them starts:

- Easy, you get 12 blue berries—
- No, 10!
- Yes, maybe 10
- You put them in the blender, you add water
- And you press the button
- Yes, you press the button maybe for 60 seconds. And you put it in the plastic bag.
- And you put it in the fridge, they were cold

They were so convinced that each flashy colour was caused by a different blended fruit. Meanwhile K was so annoyed with the camp XD

It's so amazing to think how they are so ready to explain the world. Today they were asking me how is it that light (as in electromagnetism) can pass through their bodies to close the garage. I can't imagine how they will perceive the world in a 6 months. 🤞We get a platypus next season.
