Caitlin and Courtney were outside on the deck last night looking at the crescent moon when they ran in with worried expressions and we had the following conversation:
Courtney and Caitlin: "Mommy, the moon is broken!"
Me: "What?"
Courtney: "Yeah, Mommy, it's broken. A piece of it fell into the river."
Me: "What is it supposed to look like?"
Courtney: "Round. . . like a circle." (With the "Duh, Mom!" tone of voice I sometimes hear from Rachel)
I love Courtney's explanation of where the rest of the moon went. I also think it's interesting that the twins have never noticed the changing shapes of the moon before. Now, that I think about it, I do often point out a full moon to the kids but don't ever mention it otherwise so it might be my fault.

I always point out the cheshire cat moon, but the kids never saw Alice in Wonderland so they don't get it. Now they just call it the kitty cat moon.
