CTTS: 5yo and snow

Dh asked the 5yo if she wanted a "white Christmas with snow everywhere".

She considered for a moment and said "no, not everywhere. Just snow
outside."

We had a 5 year old neighbor in the house recently who was
curious about what it meant to wish for a "white Christmas".

He confused me for a bit, because he understood what a white
Christmas was, but didn't understand how it could make sense
to wish for it to happen.

After some discussion, I realized that he thought that some
parts of the planet were always covered with snow, and that
others were more like ours, where the ground is never covered
with snow.

Most of the snow he had seen on TV was in nature shows about
the Arctic or Antarctic.

When my son first saw snow (well, probably not the first time, but the first
time he was old enough to talk at all) he said "Oooh, bubbles!"

LOL. Henry used to call green grapes "bubbles."
