Life with clan Wex
Jan. 18th, 2007 11:12 amYes, we really do have these conversations. I suppose it helps to have one child with an infinite supply of questions and another with an infinite supply of answers. This one from the car ride home last night:
K: Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
Pygment: That's a good question. No one knows the answer to that.
L: That's not true!
Pygment: Oh? Who knows?
L: The chicken knows.
(much laughing)
Pygment: Our children are existentialists.
K: How did the chicken get there in the first place?
L: He walked!
Pygment: OK except L - he's a phenomenologist.
L: I'm a phenomena! Phenomena!
Pygment & me, in harmony: Ba ba da bah-da!
