Deep Thoughts: Space and Time

• We went to Coney Island 2 weeks ago (but more on that later). As we exited the Subway we could see the Cyclone and the ferris wheel in the distance. Anna's excited comment:
  
  "Mommy, the ferris wheel is kind of like Uranus without the rings--it spins tipped on its side!"
  

• Anna is sitting in the stroller after a long day and a hard fall. She is looking up at the sky.
  
  "Mommy, does the sky have ceilings? So that helium balloons can't just go up in space?"

• Anna has this USA map placemat. It has a drawing of a dinosaur on Montana. Presumably because that is a state where they dig up lots of dinosaur bones. Or perhaps there's more. Anna looked closely at the placemat the other day and said:
  
  "Mommy! Can you believe it? There are dinosaurs alive in Montana!"
