Lunar Observatory Discourse

Daniel and I were out on the porch looking at the moon last night.  He enjoyed this activity so much, that he wanted me to go into the house and get blankets for us at bedtime, so we could resume our observations.  And we also had a pretty interesting conversation about outer space:

"Daddy, is the biggest planet bigger than our house?"

Yes.

"...Oh - I thnk the biggest planet is the one we're on."

No, actually Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system.

At that point, Daniel mentioned that Jupiter is his favorite planet, mostly because of the name.
