This morning the kids decided to go on an adventure around the world, and checked on their inflatable globe-beachball where exactly the other side of the world is... Turns out to be Ile Kerguelen, where they tell me a French music party is happening! So they planned their route over land via Alaska, Russia, the middle East, and Africa, made plans for rafting across the aqueous parts of that route, packed up both winter clothes and sunhats, first aid supplies, a French dictionary, a camera, a harmonica and an accordion, and they left.
They said I can call them in if their friends come over.
One beautiful part of this is that it the following were the only input from me:
"Mama, Where's the exact other side of the world?"
"I don't know; maybe Australia. You'll have to check your globe."
"Mama, can we bring the big first aid kit?"
"No; please don't."
