Questions II

This week's question to ponder comes from my nephew, Taylor (5).

"Who lived first, the dinosaurs or the pioneers?"

Pterosaurs

Porter (5) loves dinosaurs. Like, he REALLY loves them. His favourite game to play is "Prehistoric Park", where everyone pretends they're different prehistoric animals, and the first thing he says to me when I visit is "Guess what I learned about ______ (insert ridiculously long dinosaur name here)?" He knows more about dinosaurs than anyone other than a professional archaeologist - and he probably even would give some of them a run for their money. It's probably because, for instance, he is told to pick out a bedtime story and says the following:

"Can we read about pterosaurs from the Middle Cretaceous period?"

Of course. Who wouldn't want that bedtime story?

Questions

A couple of deep questions to ponder from my 2-year-old niece, Sarah Ann:

1.) Is today yesterday? When will it ever be yesterday?

2.) Does it take longer to get to Spain or Heaven?
