A Tortoise Beats A Hare By Using Time And Relative Dimensions In Space
(My five-year-old asks me to tell him a new fairy tale every night. I have begun to look up lists, as I want to find some I have never heard as well. One night, I decide to tell a fairly old one that I know by heart, since I am tired.)
Me: “Okay, I want to tell you one I already know, since it is late and I am super tired.”
Son: “Okay, what is it?”
Me: “Well, it’s old, but it has a good message. It’s about a tortoise and hare.”
Son: “A Tardis and a hair?”
Me: *blinks* “What did you say?”
Son: “A Tardis and a hair? Why would the Tardis have hair?”
Me: *laughing* “Not a Tardis… A tortoise! It’s like a turtle. And not a hair, but an H-A-R-E. It’s essentially a rabbit.”
Son: “Oh, I was about to ask if the Doctor changed it because a police box was kind of obvious.”
(I just blinked some more… Who has a five-year-old who thinks about that?!)
