Sun and Moon in the eyes of kids

oldfield

On the way back home, my little daughter saw the sunset for the first time. She's so amazed by the red disc in front of her, and then she turned to me to ask me a question.

Before quoting her question, I'd like to give a little bit more background first. She's 2 years old now, and in the pre-nursery class, she's in a group called "sun", and so she has a special interest about the sun.

So, what did she ask? She asked me why the sun got no eye! In the school, the sun got eyes and mouth, but the real one got none of these. Funny, right?

And then we're about to arrive home, my elder daughter realized that the moon was "following" her when she's walking, and then she asked.

My wife always said that I'm very successful here, since my daughters always keep looking up.

哈哈, 你令我想起一個小朋友問的問題:
有什麼早上由東面升起, 下午由西面落山?
太陽?
不對, 四個字的
???  
有無人知答案?

Hi, Oldfield,
昨天太陽落山的時候, 我女兒跟你女兒看著同一個太陽...
(哈哈, 這麼說是否很奇怪? 但我想作為人父母的我們會明白, 我曾經為向女兒解釋我在公司看到的日落跟她在家看到的同一個太陽而花了點功夫.)

我們在車上看到太陽有一半落了山, 但轉了彎又見到太陽未落山,
女兒問: 怎麼太陽剛剛才下了山, 這麼快又在另加個山上出來了?

我只好向她解釋太陽只是下了一個山, 還要下另一個山.
我在想.. "太陽下山了"這說法是否應該改改.. 說太陽下海了會否好些呢?

教小孩子總不能一步到位, 教的不能太科學, 我們只能夠按他們的程度來教, 當然不是教錯的東西, 太陽下山現像上是對的, 但實際上並不是事實的全部

我記得我的老師說, 人學習時包含了 learn 和 unlearn 兩部份

今天先學太陽下山, 明天學原來也可以下海, 長大後才學地球是繞著太陽轉
