What your child teaches you...

Rafeeqa is in Reception this year, I just think it is a big thing for her. She starts to learn organize her things by herself every morning and puts her bags in the proper place in the classroom. She gets homework everyday too which she always finishes by herself. 

She was telling me the story about "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" yesterday, claiming she knew all the characters inside, well, that didn't surprise me at all as we watched the Disney version together ( actually, I was trying to tell her the real version of the story by Victor Hugo, then she obviously couldn't understand at all so this crazy mummy had to stop ), but you know what, she asked me another question:

"Mummy, do you know, why people can live on earth?"
"Yah, there is water and air on earth!"
"How about the other balls?"
"Other balls?"
"The others floating around the earth?"
"You mean the other planets?"
"Yes, that's right, the planets."
"There is no water nor air, I think, so people can't live there."
"Oh," She paused for a while and continued:"you know, mummy, there is no toy, we can't live there."

That's the end of the conversation. Toys=Essential of living !
