Questions

E: "When was the first day of everything?"
Me: "You mean the new year?" (This sounded like a line from a book about the new year.)
E: "No, the first day of everything."
Me: "The first day of what?"
E: "The first day of G-d."

E: "Who were the first people who were born?"
Me: "People think their names were Adam and Eve." (OK, why does the anthropologist go with the Biblical explanation first? Is it because she had just mentioned G-d? Is it because it's easier? Is it because of the evidence of an Eve ancestor?)
E: "Did Eve have a mommy?"
Me: "People think she was the first mommy and that G-d made her."
E: "Was she a child or a grown-up when he made her?"

Tonight, as I read "Sosu's Call" to her (a book she has long been familiar with):
"Why does the lagoon give them good food?"
"Why did his mommy carry him on her back?"
"How did he get in that canoe?"
"Why are they eating with their hands? Why does he have a bowl but they don't?"
"Who are all those people? Why was she scared of him?"
"Why don't his legs work?"

Yowza. So exciting to see her mind at work. Wish my mind worked... if I didn't have such preggo brain maybe I'd be able to answer her questions better.
