Life’s big questions - Part 2

I guess I could have just said it was a miracle (read yesterdays post if you haven’t read it yet or if you are having some trouble with your short term memoryJ) (A friend and fellow blogger wrote about miracles lately. You can check out the post here) but in light of the know natural explanation the declaration of a miracle would have come across hollow, if not now then later,  and would have served to shrink the God responsible for the life described, the father of all miracles.  Again, if not now, then later.

Just a few minutes after the bug exchange the boys were eating strawberries from the garden.  The boys quickly realized that there was a scarcity in strawberry resources and that a fair and equitable distribution schedule must be determined.  However, being 8 and 10 years old, this sounded more like this: “How many do you want?” (Said while holding the bowl away from the other) and “Just give them to me.” (Said while emphatically reaching for the bowl.)

My wife stepped in as the rational mediator and reminded them that there were more strawberries in the refrigerator, strawberries bought at the store. To this the youngest again asked; “How do they get so big?” to which I, of course, answered: “Polyploidy!”
