I know the answer to one of the questions philosophers have been asking for years. Actually, I’ve known the answer for a while now and I’m thinking it’s time to share. Like many of my life revelations, this happened as I was driving. My kids were younger and in the back seat going at it trying to stump each other with questions, each designed to show they were smarter than the sibling. I usually tuned this part out but somewhere in the din I heard Chris ask his sister, “What came first, the chicken or the egg?”
In exasperation Kate said, “I don’t know . . . the egg.”
Jeff piped up, “That’s right. Dinosaurs were laying eggs a long time before there were chickens.”
There you have it, a simple answer to an age old question. Sometimes, if we listen, I think kids tell us things teachers forgot to mention in school.
