Beta Questions

I was lying on the floor, playing with baby Delta, when Beta started paying close attention to my appearance for some reason. Here are his questions:

  • Why is your nose so big?
  • Why is your tummy hairy?
  • Why is your tummy so floppy?
  • Why do you have so many gold hairs?
  • Why do you have white hairs in your ears?

And they were all right in a row.

I tried to answer him as best I could, but it was hard to come up with some answers.

  • The better to smell you with
  • That’s how men are. You’ll get hairy when you are older too.
  • Because I haven’t been running during the winter
  • That’s what happens as people get older
  • Umm… the better to hear you with?

Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from the king which he did not explain to her.

1 Kings 10:3
