This is one for Exodus or anybody else who can answer it.....
Playing in the garden with my kids today we found lots of nice round stones.....My son (as Exodus knows) is well keen on collecting stones and wants to know what is the average age of your regular garden type stone ?....I said they were 'well old'...then he said 'older than you Daddy ?'...I said yes and that I knew some lovely people who could give me a more accurate answer....I did explain that they were probably many millions of years in age...and then he said 'so...not older than you dad'...then I clipped him round the ear and tickled him.
'Men are the same as women...just inside out !'
