Bedtime provides an opportunity for deep thoughts and life questions. Kevin handled a few of the trickier ones with grace the a few weeks back.
Archie dreams of existentialism
Archie: Are we going to have another baby?
Kevin: Well not at the moment. Maybe someday.
Archie: (after thinking for a while) Will it come from Aunt Meg?
Kevin: What?Archie: How do babies get here?
Kevin: What do you mean?
Archie: Well, the first baby. (pause) Where did I come from?
Kevin: You came out of Mom.
Archie: Where did she come from?
Kevin: She came out of Nanna. Nanna came out of her mom, and she came out of her mom, and so on.
Archie: Where did you come from?
Kevin: I came out of Grammy. She came out of her mom.
Archie: But where did the first baby come from?
Kevin: That’s an interesting question. Some think God made the first baby, others might believe that we changed from other animals.
Archie: What do you believe?
Kevin: I believe that we’re part of a large continuum of life. That’s what I believe.
Archie: (after a pause) If I could ask God a question, I’d ask where he came from.
Well?

Does Archie has aspirations of taking over the world? If not, he should. That’s the type of question that could make us all cease to exist!
Dad: Archie, do you want to take over the world?
Archie: (pausing, holding custom Bionicle in hand) I would, if you were on my side.
I see it already:
Dad: What do you want to do tonight Archie…?
Archie: The same thing we do every night Dad. Try to take over the world!
He’s a charmer that way.
Clearly from the picture above, world domination requires quality sleep.
