"arctica"

This morning Rachel asked to watch one of her Baby Einstein DVDs. Why she still likes those is beyond me, but from time to time she watches one again and still loves them.

So this morning she chose Baby Noah, where they show animals from different regions of the world. When they got to penguins, and showed Antarctica, Rachel asked, "Mommy, can we go there pwease, tomorrow?"
I wasn't really watching so I said, "Go where?"
"To 'arctica to see the penguins."
I laughed. I told her you have to fly in an airplane or ride in a boat to get to Antarctica.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because it's far away and you have to go over the water to get there," I told her.
"Why can't we go in the car?" she wondered.
"There aren't any roads to drive on to get to Antarctica," I told her. Then I looked up a world map online and showed her where we live and where Antarctica is (she really likes looking at maps).
"That's where the penguins live, Mommy?" she asked, pointing down to Antarctica.
"Yes."
"We have to go there to see them," she said.
I answered, "Or we can just go to the zoo."

Seems a lot more feasible to me. It's just across town.
