We were getting out of the car last night, my 4 year old and I, when I happened to glance up and catch sight of the moon. I pointed it out to him.
"Look, you can only see half of it tonight."
"But where did the other part go?" he asked, perplexed.
"You just can't see it right now."
He thought for a moment. "I think someone cut it and took the other part."
"They stole half the moon?"
"Yup."
"Uh, oh. I hope they bring it back."
"Yeah, they better bring it back or they're going to be in a lot of trouble."
"Because you just can't go around stealing the moon, can you?"
"Nope," he agreed, "You just can't."
