A short, happy thread for a change: I don't often talk about parenting online, because I had a really hard time with it early on for a number of reasons, but now that my son is in school, picking him up in the afternoon has become the highlight of my day.

We walk home together, and we talk - often about what he did in school, but just as often about shows that he loves, or his toys, or games, or whatever questions he has on his mind. And I honestly, truly love it in a way I never expected.

Yesterday, his class learned about volcanoes, so we talked about them for a bit. Today, he wanted to talk about planets, so we went through the whole solar system together. He knows Pluto is a dwarf planet & that Jupiter is a gas giant, but he didn't know moon-aliens aren't real.

I'm continually fascinated by which things in stories he can immediately identify as being fiction, and which he isn't sure about, and which things he thinks are true but aren't. He knows talking robots aren't real, but I guess the moon is so far away he figured aliens could be?
