Reid has been talking about where we live quite often over the last few days. One morning on the way to daycare she kicked it up a notch. She asked me about our planet and was it called “urf”? Yes, I agreed, it was called, “earth” and it is in the Milky Way galaxy. Since that is the extent of my astronomical knowledge, I quickly brought the discussion back to earth, as they say. On the planet Earth, there is a continent called North America and on the continent North America there is a country called Canada and in Canada there is a province called Ontario and in Ontario there is a city called Ottawa and in Ottawa there is a street called [information withheld to protect the guilty] and at a particular number  is our house. “Oh,” said Reid. I’m sure that we will revisit these facts. We also discuss where various grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends live. Thank goodness most people we know live in the province of Ontario. I’m not sure I can explain the concept of provinces adequately to satisfy Reid.

Have a great day where in the world you may be.
