Taking her food away without asking first

Our toddler knows NASA. She knows the space shuttle and she knows astronauts. She knows the NASA meatball, and has since she could first start to talk. She also knows the space station. I wish she had a vehicle like the space shuttle to grow up with like I did. We are about to have a 5 year NASA launch vehicle gap (possibly longer) which means she'll be in elementary school by the time we get our next generation NASA launch vehicle into full operation. I am partly sad she's going to miss out on the kick-ass space shuttle. She's been to a launch, and will probably be to at least one more before they stop flying (there are 7 launches left). So at least there's that. We're doing all we can for her ;)

Instead of a launch vehicle, she will have ISS (space station) and potentially a kick-ass moon base. Maybe even Mars. Different era, not so bad I guess.

Either way, I love that NASA is in her vocabulary and her blood. What a lucky little girl.
