It all comes down to genetics...

Brian here, with a special blog entry this weekend that I hope you all enjoy. Clark has suddenly arrived at the "endless question" phase of childhood. During these sessions I quickly realized that the question and answer periods always ended at the same place, no matter where they started. From last week:

Clark- Dad, why am I four? Dad- Because you were born four years ago. C- Dad, why was I born four years ago? D- Because we wanted a cute boy in our family. C- Dad, why am I a cute boy? D- Because you look like your Mother. C- Dad, why do I look like Mom. D- Genetics. At this point, Clark looked at me intently. He looked for a long time, sitting silently, and then said, "Oh O.K." And then yesterday: Clark- Dad, can I play with Lady (Nana's aging retriever)? Dad-No, Lady can't play anymore. C- Dad, why can't Lady play anymore? D- Because she is too tired. C- Dad, why is Lady too tired? D- Because she is old. C- Dad, Why is Lady old? D- Genetics. C- ...Oh, O.K. It all comes down to genetics doesn't it...

DAD Jensen here, I love all the Clark questions----there is justice in this life!!! You were the same way of course Brian----I can't wait until Clark hits the Boys Life joke level and repeats them over and over and over and over again----just something to look forward too. I would also like an altitude measurement for the Logan launch at the beach---that has to be a record----and as Bill Cosby would say, "Brain damage" Love you guys, DAD Jensen
