What Are They Learning?

The three of us sisters and our families spent July 3rd at Huntington State Beach, which is exponentially more crowded than any beach in Hawaii. After a day in the sun, Jacob's ten-year-old cousin, Clayton, came home with us and stayed most of the week.

Over grilled burgers one night, we were all regaling Clay with stories of our recent trip to Maui, and explaining how much warmer the Pacific Ocean is in Hawaii compared with Southern California.

His response? Well, that's because of global warming.
