It’s why I want more kids. The questions are glorious.
My son asked me the other night before bed: “Dad, what did refrigerators in Texas look like?”
I could have laughed very hard, but from his point of view, it was hotter in Texas, and it was 30 years ago when I lived there.
I said “Well, refrigerator technology hasn’t really changed in a very, very, long time. They actually looked exactly the same as the refrigerator in the kitchen. But if I had to guess, you thought it may be different because it was long ago, and Texas was hotter right?”
“yeah!”
"Well, then that was a very smart question - you could notice a potential difference, and rather than assume, you asked. "
It’s so much fun raising these tiny intelligent beings. It’s like a home grown AI that isn’t artificial
