Yesterday I put the telescope under lock and key in a drawer. I didn't want her pointing it directly at the sun in the morning and have her damage her eyesight. After all, it was the first warning in the manual. Today, as soon as the sun went down, she started hitting the drawer like crazy so that I would open it. We put the telescope in front of the window and she concentrated on her piece of the universe again, observing through the eyepiece and then trying to copy what she saw on a piece of paper. Are you happy like this, Haruna? I asked. Yes-I-am-hap-py-beep-beep-beep-beeeep, she said without taking her eyes off the paper she was drawing on. I believe we'll be having profound conversations in a matter of weeks.
