Joseph asked Ron and I what a hurricane was. We told him. He said, “but they said it was like a big tornado and it was going to hit us. Will it break the house?” We explained to him about it, Ron showed him stuff on the web, we pulled out the globe… everything we could think of, but he continued to ask.
I finally asked him who told him it was going to be so bad and was such a bad thing and he said “Michaw” (not sure on spelling — his friend down the street. What’s so funny is that this kid is a year older than Joseph and obviously told Joseph what he knows, but exaggerated on it a bit and freaked JTB out.
I think we reassured him enough, but it was interesting (to me anyway) to see how Joseph believe his 9 year old fried over two adults, a globa and Internet data!
