  • Amanzilla, on 07/05/2008, -0/+10When I was in college I took a part time job at an elementary school, basically babysitting pre-school to 6th graders for a few hours after class. One of the other girls I worked with freaked out one day when we were outside. She kept asking "what is that, what is that?" After a couple of minutes I realized that she was talking about the moon. She had apparently never noticed in 22 years that the moon is also visible during the day. I was literally stunned. I couldn't believe she was looking after kids every day and wanted to be a teacher.
  • punkcat, on 07/05/2008, -3/+13if he hadn't said i would have.
  • SadMartigan, on 11/25/2008, -0/+9Anyone who has watched the moon for 'at least half an hour' knows it doesn't exactly loiter in one place.
