A Lump in the Throat
Conversations with my Daughter #22
Milla: Who were the first people in the land?
Me: What do you mean by land - Scotland?
Milla: Yes
Me: Well, they were called the Picts, but we don't know a lot about them because they did not write anything down.
Milla: Why didn't they write anything down.
Me: Well paper wasn't invented then.
Milla: Who invented paper?
Me: The Chinese.
Milla: Well how did the Chinese have babies?
Me: The same way as everyone else.
Milla: But how did they have the first babies, did they have them with their children?
Me: Do you want to know how there are so many humans?
Milla: Yes.
Me: Well, we all originally came from monkeys.
Milla: No we didn't.
Me: We did. Originally we were monkeys and over time became humans.
Milla: No we weren't, we were all babies.
