Even though my kids are older, I still expound on random things that I think they should know. I think it helps them (anyone) see how so many things are connected together and impact each other. Culture, manners, memes, history, nature all swirl around us, making the world what it is. Yes, I guess economics too.
Stephen, Enjoyed this. And the building in the photo does not look as if it's respecting its neighbors--I can see why you asked the kids what the neighbors think.
On the subject of why we talk to kids about random stuff we see--I think it is a human drive to teach the young. You ought to hear me saying the same sort of thing to my dog! It is about teaching language as well as teaching about things. I read once that women do it with babies a lot more than men do.
Nice job Stephen. The follow up questions are endless and worthwhile. What resources (inputs) did it take to build that building? What skills did the workers have to have to make the building? Where did the workers get those skills? Could the resources used to produce the building be used for other types of buildings? How do we know this building was the best choice for those resources? Why would anyone want to build a building there in the first place? No time for squabbling when discussing these kinds of things in the car!

Appreciate that.

Shannon, if you can teach your dog about supply and demand, I will be impressed. 🙂

Thanks Dad! I got your email with all the other follow-up suggestions too. They will go on my list! 🫡
