As you might imagine, working at the Children's Museum one witnesses lots of cute, funny, and sometimes awe (or even aah!) inspiring moments.  We thought it would be fun to share some of them with you.

During a recent group visit, I was very excited to show the children our new exhibit Soar into Story and share the trickster tales of Raven and Coyote.  We chatted in depth about Coyote's nose for trouble and boastful attitude as well as Raven's clever way of stealing the light and sharing it with the world.

One little guy, about 3 years old, was working very hard to turn the wheel that moves Raven up the wall and eventually triggers "the sun" to light the sky.  It took him a while but finally after much effort, ta dah...there was light!  I clapped my hands and asked him, "Did Raven throw the sun in the sky?"  With hands on hips, he turned to me, looked me in the eye and replied, "No, I did!!"   What was I thinking?
