How does it begin?

Malia has started to wonder how it all begins. First she asked me "If people come from bellies... how did the first person start to make more people?" I asked her what she thought and she answered "I think another animal laid an egg and by accident a human came out instead". Since we'd never discussed it before, I thought that was a pretty interesting theory for a 6yo to come up with.

A few days later she asked me "If new trees grow from the seeds on the mature trees, how did the first tree grow?" Which again, I thought was a brilliant question.

Who knew kids got so stinking cool and logical as they got older.
