S'more Field Trip

 
One of the exhibits at the Conservatory is an outdoor train exhibit. Nice little scenes with train tracks running through them. Inidians, old fashioned main street, old mill, boys on a dock fishing with their dads. At the far corner of the exhibit a new installation was being set up. I watched them on the sidelines for a while when suddenly I looked down into the box in front of me and saw some fake people and sea life models. I held the camera over the box and pressed the button with no idea how the shot would turn out.

Economics According to my Kindergartner


Little Skye said "Everything we buy in America is made in China."

I said "Yea, it's not good for our economy but so many companies have sent the work overseas because the work
is cheaper."

Skye said "Well that's good then."

I said "No because Americans need the money."

He said "No. The storekeepers get the money when we buy the things made in China."

I said "But it puts American workers out of a job."

He said "It's okay. They need to rest."

I said "But they need to work because they need money to buy their family things."

He said "Yea but they can let the Chinese do the work and they can relax."
