The question has finally been asked - "Dad, if the chicken is inside the egg & it's the very very first egg ever, who laid it?" Followed very quickly by "And when the very first baby was born - who was it's mummy if there was nobody else around?"
Answer - "Go see your mother!"
Thanks ever so much for that one :(
I told her there were 2 answers to this one. Both had very very long & very very short answers (hoping fervantly that she would ask for the short answers). Being about 5 minutes away from bedtime - she, of course, wanted the long answers. She got the short ones.
I basically said that most people believed that God made the first 2 people, gave her the names and some basic info ("Told you mum that apples were yuck"), and said if she needed to know anything else she would be better of asking Pa (who has an awful lot more knowledge on this subject than I have). Then I said there are also many people who don't think God made people, that they came from very very very tiny little organisms that, over millions of years, became us.
I have a sneaking suspicion Miss 5 is going to become an Evolutionist. She seemed very happy with that answer.
Then I suggested she speak to her teacher tomorrow to get the complete low down.
Fob Fob Fob :)
