Driving in the car, I like to ask my son what color the traffic lights are and then I tell him that green means "go" and red means "stop." We talk about all sorts of things like that. So when I pointed out the big, beautiful full moon to him, he commented on it being round and yellow. Since it was low on the horizon, the moon soon disappeared behind the buildings of downtown St. Paul. That's when my two-year-old said that we would "see another moon!"
I told him that I was pretty sure Earth only has one moon. Boy was I wrong! Another mile or so up the road and it turns out he was right!
