Tidbits from Hanging Out with a Four-Year-Old

GAH! I forgot to have the gravity change appropriately to match the scene change AGAIN. This problem is going to haunt me for as long as I write space opera, isn’t it?


Four-year-old: “We’re on an alien planet!”‬

‪Me: “Are they nice aliens?”‬

‪Four: “I heard one of them say, ‘We are not nice aliens!’ So they aren’t!”‬


Me: “Do you want to go home?”‬

‪Four-year-old: “I don’t have a home. I live in my TARDIS.”‬


The four-year-old: “I’m stuck on this planet, but I live on Saturn.”‬


Four-year-old: “On my next birthday I’ll be five?”‬

‪Me: “Yes.”‬

‪Four: “And now I’m four?”‬

‪Me: “Yes.”‬

‪Four: “I’ve been four for a lot of years!”‬
