The Boy in the Moon

Cooper learned about planets yesterday at preschool. We were talking about them, and he asked who lives on each one because we live on earth. He was confused when I told him no one lives on them.
Later in the afternoon, it was still blue sky, but the nearly full moon was visible in the sky. Coop excitedly pointed it out and then said, "And I know who lives on the moon, Mom."
I said no one lives on the moon either, to which he said, "Uh-huh! That boy lives on the moon!"
"What boy?"
"You know, the one who is fishing all the time."
Thank you, Dreamworks, for making my child think some poor lonely little boy is stuck on the moon and all he can do is go fishing all the time.
