I used to believe that the sky was like a ceiling and that if you flew high enough you could touch it. I felt completely safe and cozy with that believe until the teacher told us about space and gravity. I tried not to think about it! One day I was on the front lawn spinning around and around...I finally fell on my back, dizzy...and thought about what the teacher said. I held onto the grass for dear life! I just knew I was going to float away into outer space!
