Long time ago, I remember going somewhere in the car with Babygirl in the back in her car seat. She'd been going to pre-school at Ms. Carol's and learning about all kinds of stuff. It was night time and she was watching the darkness go by from her perch.

"Banana moon!" she said. Silence. It was one of those comments that kids make that you hear but don't hear until much later. It wasn't until, on yet another night, she said "Ball moon" that I got it. Pre-school astronomy from the back seat of a Toyota.

I still get it 17 years later. Especially on cloudless pre-spring nights like this one.
