One day a couple of weeks ago we had one of Luke's friends over whose dad is six foot eight. He's a big boy himself, probably about three inches taller than Luke, even though he's only two months older. Luke wanted to know why having a tall dad made the kid so much taller than him. I said, "It's his genes. He has his parents' DNA just like you have your parents' DNA."
Why do I do this to myself? I should have known he would not be satisfied with that and would want a more in depth answer.
Luke: "Yeah, but how do we get our parents' DNA?"
Me: "You were in my belly."
Luke (with a long suffering sigh): "I know about DNA, and I know how I got your DNA. How did I get Dad's DNA?"
Me: "Umm...well...ummm...He kissed me?"
Luke: "Oh, okay."
And then he went back to playing, and I went back to breathing.
