I can barely wrap my mind around billions of years (or maybe 500,000 years -- I've heard competing estimates); the kids' ability to comprehend that people have maybe been around, in some form, for about 1.5 million years, and only in recognizable human settlements for a tiny fraction of that? And then project outward so they can appreciate that we do not need to worry about this? Yeah, they don't have that capacity.<br /><br />Yet.<br /><br />Seriously, I'm giving thanks that we didn't see that article. This sort of stuff gives my kids the willies.Jodyhttp://raisingweg.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-14820869026466837142011-12-05T20:33:05.682-05:002011-12-05T20:33:05.682-05:00Oh, poor girl.
