Rekenaar

Soms zitten we in de auto

en dan horen we opeens vanaf de achterbank:

"Mommy, Rebecca is about 1000 days older than I am."

Ik maak een snelle hoofdrekensom, zeg: "that's right. How did you figure that out?"

"Well, a year has 365 days. So I did 300+300+300, that is 900. Then 50+50+50 is 150 and then a little bit more and that's over one thousand".

Klopt.

Of, op een andere keer -

"Mommy, during my life, the earth went around the sun six and a half times. Because the earth goes around the sun in 1 year and I am 6 1/2 years old".

Klopt ook.

Of:

"Mommy, how do people make a language? I mean - how do people come up with the first words? How do they know what things are if you don't have a word for them yet? And how do your thoughts work? And how can you see things?"

Zoveel nadenken, zoveel gaat er om in z'n hoofd...

Geen wonder dat hij soms van 7 tot 7 slaapt....
