I don’t remember what Max was asking me about yesterday, but my answer was “Because that’s how God designed them.” (By the way, this is not a pansy or flipant answer. We only use it when totally warranted. “Why do birds have 2 wings?” “Why are sunsets sometimes pink and sometimes purple?” etc.) “Oh.” Max responded. Then a few moments later. “Mom does God have a computer on His desk?” I was stumped. “Um. What do you think?” “I think yes. So He can design stuff. Like people and trees and water and things.” I succeded in not giggling – obviously design requires a computer. Max does not know what exactly Jac does but he does know that it involves designing and a computer is necessary for all parts of Dads job. Ergo design calls for a computer. God designed a number with that kid, I tell you what.
