Go to Paris first to go around the universe

Livy's friend Ethan (6) concluded today that the universe is 10 feet wide. I asked him to confirm that number and he said he was "confirming" that number and that "yes" the universe is 10 feet wide.

He paused for a moment and then continued: "And since the universe is round, you have to go to Paris first and then go around the universe. ... Maybe you go to China, too.  ... No, you have to go to Paris definitely."

"What do you think, Uncle Dave?"

"About what?"

"Do you have to go to Paris or China first?"

"Hmm. Don't know for sure, but I'm thinking you're right about Paris."

"Yep, you have to go to Paris first."
