One of the best things about being the parent of a toddler is how little kids constantly remind you that the world we live in is filled with wonder. As adults, it's easy to become jaded to things like a beautiful sunset or the sound of a rainstorm, but to young children, these everyday occurrences are still nothing short of magical.
In an adorable video posted on June 15, a toddler boy is outside with his mother at twilight when he notices the moon shining in the darkening sky. He has a perfectly reasonable request for mom: "Want that thing down!"
