Taking a child from the kindergarten while they were gathering, the teacher (B), a woman of 30 years, approached, then the dialogue:
(B): You know, your Dima was very bad today!
I: What has happened? The child sometimes smokes, but rarely.
(B): He was almost hysterical with my kids and me today!!! to
(I): And what, in fact, did you argue with him, up to hysterics?
The moon is rotating around the earth and not the other way around!!! Copernicus has proven that our earth revolves around the sun and other celestial bodies.

On the way home, he went to the store with his son, bought him a small Lego in reward for not retreating and proving his last (Jordano Bruno small:))
At home, he imagined how the Earth revolved around the moon, smiled... Then he imagined how Jupiter revolved around Io, smiled even louder)
