Coming out from the bathroom, Ubit asked in all of sudden: “Ibu, Ibu, kenapa sih, api bisa panas?” (Mom, why is fire hot?).
“Ummm….. I don’t know! Let’s find out.”
I then found the answer. A serious answer, that even I could not understand it well. I kept searching while struggling to explain the complicated chemical reaction to Ubit. My son stared at me and nodded. However, I knew for sure that he actually didn’t care. As for the heat produced by fire, today he was just curious. Whatever the elaboration was by no means necessary.
Well, for the 5 yo, curiosity is more than enough.
