That is funny Mom
I am a fantasy book reader. Unquenchable, in this genre is putting it lightly. Through our cable system we get the channel ION network. It is an interesting channel for me in that it plays some BBC stuff I don't even get to see on the American BBC network. One recent show was a film version of The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. I was excited! I love Terry Pratchett Discworld books, and I had no idea that it had been made into a video format.
OK, so the premise of these books is silly; they are set on a planet that is a flat, round disc instead of a sphere. The stories make fun of the genre, pop culture, and anything else the writer can throw in. Pratchett's writing style is similar to Douglas Adams, but he is much more prolific.
So I was watching the movie while Hannah was batting around a singing toy when Gabriel came and sat next to me. After a few minutes of questions and me rewinding to show him the weird point about the planet of Discworld, he started laughing.
“Is that a rainbow, Mom?”
“Yeah, Gabriel that is.”
“That is funny, Mom. A rainbow couldn't curve like that on that planet.”
I did a double take. I didn't know he understood color and light physics that much. I chuckled, too, in shock. “Your right, Gabriel. A rainbow takes it's shape from the curve of the world.”
I guess my seven year old is absorbing some things in school after all.

(P.S. 
the movie is not available for the American market.)
