Hannah came back from her part-time job last night saying that the moon was very beautiful. She said that it was low, big and very bright. I love seeing the moon (and the stars) so I asked "Where's the moon". David's answer was "In the sky?" What I wanted to know was what direction to look in, as sometimes it's difficult to see because of the buildings. Christopher and Hannah understood what I meant. Anyway, Christopher, Hannah and I went out, we took some photos, not the best but you can get an idea of how beautiful it was.

When we went back in David was still laughing. I know asking where the moon is might be mildly funny but not that funny. I asked what had him laughing so much, he said that me asking where the moon was reminded him of a conversation I had with Hannah the other morning about the dustpan.
The conversation went something like this:
Hannah: " Does anybody know where the dustpan is?"
Me: "Yes, I do"
Hannah, tapping her foot at my not-helpful answer: " Where is it?"
Me, now I know I saw the dustpan and I can visualize where it is but can't explain: "It's there"
Hannah, now getting frustrated: "MOM"
I sat and thought for a bit, then answered: "It's in the bag of fresh cat litter"
Hannah goes to the next room, muttering about me teaching English.
Just another normal day here!
