Frequently asked Questions
Quent has just been called upstairs by Oakley, who has five questions for him. Poor Quent. He could be gone some time... The other day Oakley padded downstairs, having been put to bed some time earlier (fortunately a rare occurance).
Oakley: "Mummy, why is it twaditional for gwown ups to go to bed later than childwen?"
Me: Burbling answer about growing, energy levels etc. but avoiding the key point about peace and quiet.
Quent: "I have a question for you. What are you doing down here?"
Oakley: "I have two questions, Daddy."
Quent: "OK. What is the second question, then?"
Oakley: "Who built the world, because it can't be builders, because they live on it."
Quent: Much more impressive (and long) two-fold answer covering off religion and evolution. I didn't hear all of it. I had to leave the room when Oakley said "whoah, Dad" and challenged some bit about explosions and gases.
