where is the sea?

I with my daughter was going to the kindergarten today. We often sing songs. And today I decided to explain her - what is winter and summer. I start my story that now is winter, snow, sledges, again snow, it is needed to put on a warm overalls. Then the snow will melt, warm weather will come, bla-bla-bla, spring. Then the summer will come, everything will be green, we'll go to the country to your grandmother, to the sea ….

I see that my daughter has fallen silent – comprehends. After some time she says the sacramental phrase: "Mum, and where is the sea?"

I am knocked speechless!

I come to my senses, and start seriously thinking – where is the sea, almost crying: "daughter, we live in a big city with lots of houses, cars and people, but there is no sea here…."
