Earthquakes

O: "Mom, are there earthquakes in real life?"

M: "Yes."

O: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding?"

M: "No, I'm not kidding, there are earthquakes in real life."

O: "I'm scared of earthquakes."

I do my best to explain the tectonic plates that shift underneath the land and oceans.

O: "How do you know?"

M: "Because I learned it."

Several hours later....

O: "Mom? Are you kidding me? Are earthquakes real?"

M: "Yes Odan, they are real!"
