Poor Dawn
July 2, 2013
Boy: What’s “dawn”?
Mum: Why – where did you hear about it?
Boy: It’s in The Little Mermaid – there’s this crown that her granny has arranged for her and it lets her breathe so she can go out of the sea and it says on that day, dawn broke.
Mum: Ah! It’s a time of day – “dawn” is just before the sun shows up and you say “dawn breaks” when the sun comes up over the horizon and the day starts.

Remembrance Day – Nov 2012
D: The poppies are so we remember the army people who got killed in the war. They’ve both got poppies: That’s the goody [on the right] – he’s got a red poppy; and that’s the baddy [on the left] – he’s got a black poppy.

D: Why is it dark already?
Me: Because autumn’s coming – the days get shorter because the sun goes to bed earlier and gets up later.
D: Oh yes – I remember.
Me: In the winter the days will be really short, and it will get dark really early.
D: So on Christmas will the sun just pop up really late and then say goodbye and go straight back to bed again?
Me: Well it’ll get up slowly and go to bed slowly and hang around for a bit in between, so there will be some daylight, but yes – there won’t be as much.
D: Do we still have to get up at 6 o’clock?
Me: Yes.
