for the future

Tonight, as Miranda drifted off to sleep, she said, “I don’t believe in dinosaurs.” Trying my best to keep bedtime about sleeping and not talking, I said, Oh. She went on to say she didn’t see how scientists could know all of the things they say are true about dinosaurs. I offered that we could read a book about paleontology and see if she could better understand how scientists form their theories. She said Oh.

In the future, this conversation will embarrass/amuse her – I said what? I’d never say that! Or she will have a flourishing career on talk-radio and we’ll not be speaking.  At least about politics, religion, science, weather, sociology…the list goes on.
