  • Me, playing with BF's 4-year-old niece: What are you going to do with that shovel?
  • Niece: I'm gonna dig in the dirt.
  • : :1 minute passes::
  • Niece: I'm bored. There's nothing here.
  • Me: Why don't you try planting something?
  • Niece, looks around: What can I plant?
  • Me: Why don't you try planting this rock?
  • Niece, mystified: Can I really plant it?
  • Me: Sure, you can.
  • Niece: What does it grow into?
  • Me: A bigger rock.
  • Niece, skeptical: Is that true?
  • Me: Sure, it is. Where do you think mountains come from?
  • Niece: Rocks?
  • Me: That's right. Haven't you ever seen a mountain?
  • Niece: Yes...
  • Me: And what's a mountain?
  • Niece, enlightenment dawning: A big rock!
