*conversation in the car about why our car is a hybrid leads to explanation of climate change*
Me: ...and we want all the people to live long, happy lives.
E: like us! We're people! We're living long, happy lives!
Me: I hope so!
E: No we are, we are! *gestures outside* Look, it's all so beautiful! People are building houses, and the trees are beautiful, and there are cars on the road, and it's all so BEAUTIFUL!
Me: (delighted) What do you think is beautiful?
E: That house is beautiful! There are pigeons in the sky! There are - what are those?
Me: Telephone poles.
E: Do you know why?
Me: Because when I was your age, telephones were attached to the wall with wires, and the poles carry the signal to the house on the wires. The phones didn't have screens or video, only voice, and if you wanted to talk to your friend you needed to sit on the stairs.
E: (stares at me in incomprehension)
