The Elephant and The Poopy Conversation.

The folks at movieland are definitely getting super-perfecto muy bien at the CG thingy. And Dr Seuss was a genius storyteller as another one of his books hit the big screen. As usual, every little details fall in nicely together at the end of the show. Throw in a a bad guy who is dying to do the dirty job for free, an amazing who does an amazing imitation of kungfu ninja using his ears, many many fuzzy wuzzy animals, an incredibly funny knock-knock joke, and a feel good theme song which everyone joins in, every minute of Horton Hears a Who! shouts out fun and creativity. 4 outta 5 stars for this movie!! Regardless you are a small boy, a small girl, or a big one, you'll love it!

Just before the show, I had a lesson on big bang while pooping. Ewww! Heh. Okay don't imagine that! Just focus on the story. I overhead the conversation between a boy (about 5-year-old from the sound of him) and his dad in the cubicle next to mine.

Boy: Daddy, how does nature come about?
Dad: Nobody really knows for sure.
Boy: What about the very smart scientists? Don't they know?
Dad: Well nobody really knows everything. Scientists do experiment and they believe it may be the Big Bang.
Boy: Why don't they really know? Even Einstein also don't know?
Dad: Physicists learn a small part and after many years they have the bigger picture.
Boy: Daddy, what is it like during the Big Bang?
Dad: It was the beginning of time when there was no matter. Everything was very hot and dense.
Boy: What is dense? Is it like very heavy?
Dad: Dense is like a lot of matter in a space. It is like when you put sand in a box, the more you put in it, the heavier it gets, the denser it is.
Boy: Daddy, why are there dinosaurs? Are there like many dinosaurs, some plant eaters, some meat eaters?
Dad: Dinosaurs come from cells. They slowly transform and become dinosaurs. Now are you done already? Can I wipe you?
Boy: No, not yet...

Now this kid is smart or what?! I'm equally impressed that his dad had bothered to explain the facts to him, instead of brushing his questions aside. He actually explained to him the and the Big BangEvolution theories! And the kid was able to understand, give some thoughts to them, and ask intelligent questions. Mind you, we are talking about a kid who still needs his dad to accompany him to poop and wipe him clean!!! I wish next time my kid will be just as smart and I wouldn't wanna be caught off guard when he asks me such questions.

Not long after, the boy asked his dad about the words on the door of the cubicle. His dad said that it was graffiti and was very bad. Soon, the boy was reading away the words he saw. =)
