My son loves anything to do with maps, media and mass transportation. Though at times, it can be overwhelming for a 5-year-old. The other day we were flipping through his atlas when this conversation ensued:
Theo “This is a map of the United States.”
Scott “Correct.”
Theo “And New York is the biggest city in the United States.”
Scott “Yep, that’s right.”
Theo “The city is also filled with skyscrapers.”
Scott “You’ve been there, do you remember seeing the buildings?”
Theo ” A little. I heard there used to be two really big ones, but they were destroyed by airplanes.”
Scott “Do you know what happened?”
Theo leans in with secrecy and says in a low whisper “No, but apparently it was Dominique Strauss-Kahn that did it.”
