Ooh, almost forgot!

Big came up with a great question on the way back from ballet. She was given a Sea Monkeys set for her birthday, and she’s desperate to get it started, although I’ve said it would be better to wait until after we’ve been to our two hols. Anyway, she is musing about how they got into the eggs, and I suggested perhaps their mummies laid eggs.

“But how did the first mummy get in the first egg?” I told her that was a good question, and rather depended on how you thought it all worked at the start of everything (we’ve discussed evolution and creation in very basic terms).

“I wonder how the first mummy came out of the first tummy too?”

Wow, a child philosopher!
