Look it Up

(The following conversation took place last night while Ben was making waves in the bath tub):

BEN: How does the ocean make waves?
ME: Ummm... The wind makes them, I think?
BEN: Maybe it is because the moon's gravity pushes the water up on the sand. *
ME: If you already know the answer why are you asking me?
BEN: I don't actually know. I said 'maybe'. Let's look it up on Ask.com. **

*Apparently confusing waves with tides, but I still give him credit for using the word "gravity" (even though he pronounced it "grabity").

**Still waiting for him to ask me to Google something, but I'm sure it won't be far off.
