Kids are so innocent. I had the cutest conversation with my daughter tonight during her bedtime story. We were reading her dinosaur book. She's fascinated by them, as most kids are. She wants to understand them all so badly, yet her innocence is something truly special. She's nearly 5.
"Daddy, did you know they are 'stinct'?"
She doesn't quite have the concept down, other than the 'stinct' ones are dead. She pointed to the illustrations of meateaters - the ones getting killed are 'stinct'. The ones doing they killing aren't.
Then we got to the page which shows a comet/meteor hitting earth and other possible events that may have caused extinction. She wanted to know what the explosion was and why they are running. It's hard to describe the universe to a kid. I tried my best and I could see her trying so hard to visualize where a meteorite might come from.
Kids are so precious. If you know one, do everything you can to help them grow up in a good environment. They deserve it.
