I read an article this week in Scientific American about "kid logic." It began with the story of a young girl who caught her father exchanging the baby tooth under her pillow for a dollar bill. The girl thought long and hard about this event, and decided that the evidence could only support one logical conclusion: her father is the Tooth Fairy.
Another child, a young boy, was asked what the Tooth Fairy does with all the teeth she collects. He replied that she must build houses out of them. But why wouldn't she just use bricks, the researcher asked. Because nobody has bricks for teeth, the boy replied.
We laugh when we hear stories like this, but unfortunately, as the article pointed out, adults often fall into these kinds of traps as well.
And I immediately thought of Denver130 and his "chemtrails."
