my kid has been teaching me shit constantly. either by having facts about animals i didn't know before (which i have checked and verified) or asking me questions where my answer was "i don't know, let's look it up".

i was always a curious person myself and constantly asked questions as a kid as well, but as you grow up you sometimes take things for granted and forget to ask why something is the way it is or how it came to be so. now my kid looks at the world with fresh eyes and asks questions i haven't asked, so we can both learn. it's awesome.

reminds me of the monologue that woman delivers in Love Death and Robots episode Pop Squad.
