RE: Questions With WolfDawg (My Son Answers Your Questions).
Hey @wolf-dawg! I enjoy watching your question videos and seeing what the world looks like to a 7 year old. It's a very long time since I was 7.
I really liked your answers to my questions today. It's great that you enjoy everything about home schooling. Math was one of my favourites too.
We have a cable car in Wellington as well. It has the main shopping street at the bottom, and up the top there's the botanical gardens and an observatory. Also a museum with some of the old cable cars.

When I was your age, you used to be able to ride on the outside of the cable car, but now it's all enclosed to be safer.
The old one looked like this picture from the museum website
He really liked these pictures and I had to go more in depth to what a cable car is. We even looked up the cable car museum where it goes in depth of how cable cars work. He is absolutely thrilled and would love to ride one. Thank you for watching the videos.
So does that mean our cable car is different to the one he went on in Chattanooga? To my limited technical knowledge, it sounded like the same thing. But if they're different, there's a wolf-dawg question right there - can he explain to me what the difference is between them? Not too advanced a question?
It is the same thing. I wanted him to see the inner workings of how a cable car works with the gears. The only difference is the shape of the car and he really liked how the cable cars looked in San Francisco. The smaller scale of the car itself is what made him excited about riding one of the cable cars in San Francisco.
Ah, that excitement for learning and new experiences. Great to see and to know that he won't have it knocked out of him by regular school. Well, neither of your kids will, yay!
