no one: 4yo: How did we start our life like this? What am I even saying? I’m so confused! What is wrong with me?! What am I saying?? It’s been a long time since we have been made. How did the whole earth start like this? Who invented it? Who made the world of earth? https://t.co/mZO25Qcgjt

She got out of the bath perplexed to the point of almost being distressed, and started launching into these questions, expressing frustration at herself for being confused, and continuously reformulating them. Recorded this about 5 mins in.

Once she had gotten the questions to a point where she was willing to accept answers, I gave her a bit of protoplanetary disk theory, and @Gena_I_Gorlin gave her a mixture of more physical cosmology and the biology of reproduction.

@Gena_I_Gorlin I often have some sense of what primes her questions but this came out of absolutely nowhere and really had a grip on her. I’m still shellshocked. (In a good way.)
