On they way to school in our essentially surburban'ish town we passed a vacant field. There was a heavy mist lying over the entire field even though the roads were fog free and the sun was out. The kids started asking questions about this phenomenon- very perplexed, and I tried to explain about the moisture collecting in the field. How the earth was warming in the morning sun after a cold night and how it eventually turns to rain after evaporating...
There was a pause after my explanation.
Then Mia chimes in "Oh, I just thought it was a dying cloud".
Much better.

That's just beautiful. :)
What was your reply to that?
Huh....Your response seems so technical. I think I like Mia's better! Love it actually...
I loved her explanation too. I believe I said 'that sounds much better'. I just loved the visual.
