Today I asked Hannah to open the curtains in the dining room and then to turn off the lights. "Why?", she asked, in keeping with her constant need to question every utterance, sight, thought, fleeting feelings, etc.
"Well," I answered, "We don't want to waste the lights. So if we open the curtains, we can let the sun in and then we won't need to have the lights on."
She thought for a minute, and then replied, "But we don't want to waste the sun!"
I started to explain the concept of renewable resources, but then decided simply to agree with her. Don't waste the sun. It sounds like good advice, in its own right.

Hilarious Carolyn! This totally reminds me of the stories you read in Reader's Digest - I forget what the column title is, but it's all the funny stories/lines involving kids. :)
