Nobody Really Knows How All This Happened...

Tonight, Ian was asking me why a country - one in particular, it matters not which one... - has such a high population.

I speculated that a long time ago, people thought that the only way to make sure that someone would take care of them when they got old would be by having a lot of children... and they had a lot of children, and their children had a lot of children...

Ian asked me: But Daddy, did they make themselves have a lot of children?

Me: Uhhh.... yeah.

Ian: How?

At that moment Daniel asked for his milk. I was extremely happy to provide Daniel with milk immediately upon request. So happy, I was laughing...
