a young child: *tells me basic knowledge*

me: no way!!!!!!!! 00000000000:

#one time a five year old asked me what the world was made of and i said ‘rocks and dirt and water and stuff’#and he said ‘no silly it’s made of atoms!! they’re so small we can’t even see them’#i’m never talking down to children again i’ve never been so thoroughly wrecked in my entire life

I still think about the kindergartener who turned to me at lunch two years ago and exclaimed, “Can I tell you something AMAZING that I can’t BELIEVE? The UNIVERSE is EXPANDING.”
