"What does the moon do?"

Last night Lee and Jake were playing on the back deck. Ben and I soon joined them and they were both looking up at the moon. It was still daylight, but the moon was of course already out. Lee said Jake asked him what the moon does. Then he asked me. How in the world do you answer that? I simply said," it shines." Lee and I cracked up laughing. I thought this satisfied him, but then he asked what the clouds do. It is so amazing the things little ones want to learn and know. They are little sponges that absorb everything. Anyway I thought it was pretty funny and interesting, so I thought I would share it with all of you in blog land.
