Mom! Come quick! My knees are too big!

-
Crackle: I think my knees are too big for my legs.
Mom: No, they’re not. They’re perfect.

Crackle: No, look again. I think you made a mistake when you put me together.

Mom: No, there are no mistakes and they’re not too big. Your legs will grow. They match up eventually.

Crackle: Mom, wouldn’t it have made more sense to make them grow at exactly the same time?! 

Mom: Umm.. well, I think the growth-rate differential has to do with complicated biology and physics. 

Crackle: You know what? I think you just made that up. And you want to know what else I think? I think sometimes you and God are really smart and then, other times, the two of you.. have no idea what you're doing.

Pop: Mom... I want everyone to be kind to one another. I don’t want any more bad things to happen to people, especially to children. How can I bring peace into the world?  I can imagine it, but I don’t know how to do it.  Can you help me figure out how I could do it?  Mom: Ahh, yes… I understand those feelings and the idea you have. That is a very beautiful and noble idea. We'll explore it together - as a family.  You know, there is a man who wrote a song about this very thing.  Let’s listen to it.  Pop: Really?  So I’m not the only one?  Mom: No, you are not. Pop: Well, I really didn’t think I was the only one.  But... can I talk to him? Maybe we could work on this together?

Pop:  Mom! How was your class! Did you talk about me! Did you talk about me!! Mom:  Haha, actually I did. We talked about nature versus nurture.  So of course, I had to speak about my favorite set of twins :) Pop:  Which one am I?! Which one am I?! Mom:  Haha, well, it doesn’t quite work that way.  It’s not about which one you are.  Pop:  What’s the difference between... what’s the two words again? Nature and what else? Crackle:  It's simple.  Nature is what God gave you and Nurture is what Mom gave you.  Mom:  WHAT did you say???  Wait a minute...  Are you reading my text book again? Are you up to Chapter 3?!

Ok, let me think.   I know!  So... remember when I got birthday money when I turned 3? I got like $50. Let’s just give him that. Mom... are you listening to me?  So, when my show is over, can you bring me the wrapping paper and the tape and the scissors and the money?  Mom: From when you were 3?  Crackle: Yes.  And I like the blue wrapping paper. Or, you can just wrap it if you’re not busy. Whatever you want Mom. It’s up to you.
