Looking for the stars

The morning after a night of gazing up at the stars with the children, I asked, 'Look up at the sky. How come there are no stars in the daytime?'

Pia: Because we can't see them.

Me: Why can't we see them?

Pia: Because they're not there in the daytime.

Me: Why not?

Pia: Because they are not there.

Me: Why not?

Pia: Daaahhhddy....don't always say 'Why'

Me: Why?

Pia: STOP IT!

 

Perhaps a career in science is too early.
