My Little Philosopher

E: Mama, what's the difference between half-full and half-empty?

[So I got a glass, filled it halfway with water, brought it to her and asked what the glass was. She said it was half-full. I asked her what the other half was. She thought for a moment and then said "Half-empty." I said, "See, it's the same thing, it just depends on how you look at it." She thought about that and nodded. Then I asked her if she wanted a drink of water, and she did.]

[I'm glad she said it was half-full.]
