Bad Guys Go to Venus

Simi is learning about the solar system in his pre-school class. He's absolutely loving this module more than any other module so far. Every evening he trips over his tongue in an effort to tell us everything he learned that day about the solar system. "Mommy, did you know that the sun is a hot star?", he says. Then he goes on and on and on about the sun and everything he learned about it.

Today was no different. In the car on the way home, Simi jabbered on and on and on about Saturn's moons and Jupiter's moons. Then he talked about Venus. "Mommy", he starts. "We'll put all the bad guys on Venus. Then there won't be any more bad guys; they'll all be on Venus."

"Good idea", I say. "But how will we get them to Venus?"

"Well, that's simple", continues Simi. "We'll just put them in my rocket ship and fly them to Venus. Then, when we get close, we'll open the door of the rocket ship and push them out. Then we'll fly back home."

Problem solved.
