This morning on the way to school - which by the way, is the time Alisha and I have some of the most amazing conversations; she asked me :
"Papa why are there birds ?"
( Explain the existence / usefulness / purpose of birds in this world )
I tried with starting to quote from one of my childhood favourites :
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them All.
I admit that this was a bit lame, as it merely describes that they were made, but still doesnt address the "Why" part.
And she wasnt too convinced either.
So i went on to try and give her a bit of history, which usually has me start by saying :
"In the old days....."
And i tried to explain carrier pigeons and the like to deflect her with the novelty value rather than the true merit of my explanation.
