Noah was up early for breakfast a few days ago. As he was getting ready to dig into some cereal for breakfast, I handed him a spoon. I'm not sure how the discussion came up, but I know I mentioned to him that if he looked at the spoon from the outside, he can see his face right side up, and if he looked at it from the inside, he would appear upside down.
I said it offhandedly, but it took his complete attention for the next 10 minutes. He asked me about it, and for the next 10 minutes I tried desperately to remember, and explain to a 4-year old, high school physics rules about the bend of light and reflections. Fortunately, I think he was more distracted by the fact that he could see himself upside down, then right side up.
He never did finish his cereal.

I love that he's at the age that he's constantly finding these fascinating new things. Priceless.
