Life with clan Wex

[drwex]

Yes, 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!

And if we acknowledge that, given all these plausible interpretations, the question is in practice ambiguous and can't be definitively answered as stated, then we're back to the question having no answer (though admittedly for not terribly interesting reasons).
