I was helping a first grade kid with his homework and he was draw pictures that represent America. He had the flag, a big star that said USA in it and USA in bubble letters out of the star. He asked what else to draw, I said bald eagle but he didn’t know how to so I told him to just draw more stars.
After he did about 10 little stars he looked at me and asked “did you know that stars don’t have five points?” while pointing at the stars he just drew. I told him no I don’t know any stars without points. And he gasped and began to tell me how REAL stars are balls of fire and gas floating in space and that they don’t have points.
Of course I know about the stars in space and everything but I just didn’t expect a first grader to know it or if anything to school me on it. I guess it was my fault for thinking that he doesn’t know much about real stars and space.
