Explanation

[resonant]

The kidlet tripped and fell on the way out of choir practice tonight. "I was too busy watching the night sky."

Evidently some of us are in the gutter because we're looking at the stars.

Oh, that's just wonderful.

Your kidlet sounds terrific.

There's a famous story about Thales, who was the earliest of the Greek philosophers:

While walking along and studying the stars, Plato said, Thales fell into a well. An old woman coming in response to his cries, helped him out, but said with contempt, "Here is a man who would study the stars and cannot see what lies at his feet."

Woohoo! Now I don't feel like such a complete philosophy nerd for thinking of that - at least now I know I'm not the only one who did.
