I remember when my daughter came home from first grade. I asked her what she learned at school today. She told me she learned about the phases of the Moon. I asked her "Well, what are the phases of the Moon?" She told me new moon, quarter moon, half moon, 3/4 moon, Gibbous Moon and full moon.
I asked her, "What's a gibbous moon?" She replied it's between 3/4 and full. I asked her, "Why do they call it a gibbous moon? Is it gibbous a couple more days and it will be full?"
The next day she came home with a note from her teacher requesting a parent teacher conference.
