Fun conversation with my son. We visited the same beach at different times the same day and he made an observation.
Son: The water level is different.
Me: Sure, that's the tide. You didn't know?!
Son: I didn't.
That got me thinking about the usefulness of schools... Then I suspected some difficulty in providing an explanation.
Me: Hey, I can tell you why the sea level changes, but you will not believe me.
Son: Tell me.
Me: The Moon moves the sea.
Son: (laughs out loud) Yes, that's indeed nonsense.
