Yesterday, Noah was in the car and he asked me, "Mommy, what do you think the most important world resource is?"
I said, "Do you know what a resource is?"
He said, "Yeah," in a voice that indicated that he felt I must be mentally disabled, "It's stuff that humans use. Like water, food, iron, wood."
I asked him, "What do you think the most important world resource is?"
"Hmmm," he said. "I'm going to go with water. Because a human can only survive for 3 days without it. You can go for like 3 weeks without food. But you die if you don't have water for 3 days."
Thought that was a pretty good observation. However, why Noah is wondering about world resources is another story. Last time we had a conversation on the global level it was about armies and wars. Planning to take over the world requires a lot of research, I suppose. ;)
