Things kids say that make you think

I was talking to my son about houses this afternoon as he was asking about when they’re built and how you buy one and everything. It made me think of how as humans we are obsessed with having this building that we spend so much of our lives hiding inside and decorating and doing all sorts of things with and then we just switch it with someone else! Like some sort of hermit crab. I was looking at all the houses around me and thought it was amusing that since the Victorian times when they are all built, hundreds of people have just been switching then out between each other.

It’s all quite strange when you think about it. Any other things you’ve found odd since explaining it all to kids?

Not since explaining to kids but it blows my mind that we can create another human being. That they grow inside us and then we push them out and then they are here. I can't think about it too much, it freaks me out a bit.

Sleep is mind-boggling! Also amuses me that you (usually) have to pretend to be asleep in order to go to sleep.

That is very true! We have to do it every single day as well. For so many hours!
