Parents are always rushing about and working, and it seems like they never stop long enough to notice what is really going on. This must be so frustrating for children when they try to tell them important things. Sometimes, parents don’t even look up from what they are doing and kids have to talk to the sides of their heads. Even if they do look up, they only see what they expect to see. Aliens really could land, bust a few things and take off again without an adult ever noticing. So please, it’s all up to you. Watch the skies for us.
