Hi, I am sure this has been done before, but I'm a newbie and maybe there are some new goodies out there.
DD (then 5) in Paris for her birthday treat. (We were "comfortable" then and could do that kind of stuff. Broke now so no hope!) Took her to Eiffel Tower. We did the guidebook thing and approached on foot from a moderate distance. She looked at it in amazement and then said - "It's too big to fit into my eyes"
Cue big blinks from me (followed by terror when she insisted on going up!)
Come on you MNers, there must be loads of profound stuff/funnies out there. Bring them on
