Joshua (age 7) stood beside me as I loaded kids in the van this afternoon. I could tell he was deep in thought as he surveyed the snowy landscape around him.
Josh shivered a little and asked, “Mom, are you sure it’s summer?… ‘Cause it still feels like winter to me.”
I was surprised by his question, and replied, “But it is winter, Joshy.”
“Still?” came the incredulous reply. I assured Joshua that it really was still winter, and then asked him why he thought it was summer already.
“Well,” Josh explained, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “It’s after New Year’s…”
