dim lights, both of us lying on the bed, the last song of bedtime routine

D: Michael row your boat ashore, hallelujah. . .
R: If the people come out of the rocketship without their parachutes, how do they get down?
D: They always wear their parachutes. They have them in a backpack. It's bedtime now honey.
R: Oh, a backpack. But what about the rocketship, how does it get down?
D: It lands in a special place or in the water. Jordon's river is chilly and wide, hallelujah.
R: How does it get back from the water with no people in it?
D: Maybe the computer tells it how to go. Milk and honey on the otherside, hallelujah.

driving to school in the rain the next day

R: Can we build a rocketship?
D: Sure, honey.
R: And fly to the moon?
D: Uh, huh.
R: Would we eat the moon?
D: Honey, this would be a pretend rocketship, so we could pretend to eat the moon.
R: But I want to build a real one.
D: That takes a long time to learn how to do. You need to talk to Jeff; he builds rockets.


We've been watching Wallace and Grommit go to the moon. I think we'll be taking a trip shortly.
