Where to Find Everything You Don't Know
Here's an exchange that took place in the car on the way to the mall:
Four-Year-Old Son (henceforth 'FYOS'): Is Arizona in the United States?
Me: Yes.
FYOS: How can it be so far away and still be in the same country?
Me: Well, the United States is a big country.
(Short pause for thought, apparently about the distance between Wisconsin and Arizona and all the people that reside in the intervening space...)
FYOS: How can God make all those people without getting tired?
Me: I don't know how. That's a very good question.
FYOS: We'll have to look that up in the dictionary when we get home. That's where you look for everything you don't know.
