Sebastian has been asking several times in the last few weeks 'mum, what is the reason we are on earth? '.
I thought I'd try and explain a few of my ideas ... And he cuts my speech short and says:
'I reckon its something like this. A big fairy made the world, and put a mummy and a daddy, 2 kids and a dog on it. Then they had lots of kids and spread all over the world'.
