Come Out, Moon!

I was driving Beatrice home from preschool this afternoon when she looked out the window and said*, "Hello, sunshine! . . . The sun is out in the day and the moon is out at night," repeating a lesson I taught her a few weeks ago.

Then she added, "Mommy? Where is the moon?"

I told her, "The moon is always up in the sky, but you can only see it at night."

"The moon is sleeping in the day. The moon is having nap time. The moon is sleeping in his bed. The moon wants his blanket."

Then she shouted, "Come out, moon! I want to give you a blanket!"

*I know, this blog is quickly becoming Beatrice Quote of the Day, but I can't help but be delighted by the things she comes up with. And by typing them here, I make sure I have a record of them someday.
