autumn leaves

While quietly riding in the cars back seat, Liv says, "Mommy, I know why the leaves drop in the Fall."
"Oh?", I say.
"Yup. The trees go to sleep in the fall. As they fall asleep, they forget to hold onto the leaves and they drop them onto the ground....Those leaves blow away, so in the Spring when they wake up they have to make new ones."
"That's cool, Liv."
"Yeah, it is.", she says as she stares out the window.
