The Birth of the Universe... according to Max and Maggie.

The more they know, the funnier they are. Max, while shoving rice-crispy treats into his mouth and I doing the dishes, started to explain to me the Big Bang theory. He has it down pretty well. Go Mrs. Oz (his second grade teacher)!!!! Then he indulged me in his own theory which he has titled the Big Crush theory. It goes something like everything was one big pile of matter. It became crushed under the force of gravity and it ended up in what we now know as the universe. So impressed with himself, he began seeking support for his new theory starting with me. Then solicited Maggie's vote. She listened to the comparison of each theory and then promptly and matter-of-factly said, "All I know is that all the planets move around the sun. The only planet that has life is earth. The other planets don't have people on them." Go Miss Eschler (her kindergarten teacher)!!!! Max disagreed... "What about Mars? You know there are signs of life past and maybe even present on Mars!!!!" Wow! Wish I could suck up as much information and spit it back like they can! And, who taught Max how to talk? Would you ever believe he was speech and language delayed as a toddler????
