Recently Carter had an assembly at his school where they learned facts about the moon. Carter was listing all the different things he learned and Mike and I were nodding our heads in agreement. Then he started explaining "During the dinosaurs time there was a meteorite that hit earth and it sent a bunch of rocks into outer space and they started going into orbit around the earth. Then they crashed together and made the moon."
Well, Mike and I were looking at each other with skepticism in our faces, we sure hadn't heard that theory before. But then Carter picked The Moon Book by Gail Gibbons to read before bedtime, and sure enough that entire scenario was described in this book! I just laughed and told Carter, see now you are smarter than your Mom and Dad! I have to say I really don't remember that theory of the moon's origins but one of the best parts of life is learning something new everyday!
