Last night we were driving home in the dark through this old, creepy cemetery on our way home from some friend’s house.  There are these wrought-iron archways at the entrance and exit and all the gravestones are very old.  So are the crooked black trees.  I’ll admit I felt a bit spooked but I was amused when Asher piped up in the back seat, “Mom, I hate the dark, its scary.”  Then Hila said, “I wish the earth would stop rotating when we’re in the light so that we don’t have to have night anymore.”

Pretty astute, huh?  She wasn’t just hoping, she actually understands what physically would have to happen to make it not get dark at night.  Kids are amazing.
