On a number of occasions, I have tried to explain to Big about things like radio waves, radiant heat and so on. Me: “It is like light but you can’t see it.” Big (blank, puzzled, Daddy is taking the **** again look): “?” We have talked about rainbows and splitting light up into different colours, […]
