Out of nowhere Scote came up to me, his small face squinched and scrunched and strangely adult for someone only two weeks past 5, and said,
"Mommy, if caterpillars turn into butterflies who lay eggs that become more butterflies...where did the very first butterfly come from? Because if he came from a caterpillar then he came from an egg and was laid by another butterfly too, then where did that one come from?" Then he groaned and said, "My brain hurts."
Yeah, mine too.
(And no fair asking how I answered him in the hopes of sparking a creationism/evolution debate, that's a can of worms I only care to open in private.)
