A poem:
There’s snow on the car, there’s snow on the trees.
There’s always snow in the backyard after I sneeze
Inspired by Lying on Things by Dennis Lee.
Mom, can I please take a picture of your nipples?
No. Why not take a picture of my face instead.
But I want to have a picture of them so I can remember what they looked like and that you had nipples when you are dead.
But what about the rest of me?
How about I take a picture of all your parts, then?
I am not going to die for a long time.
That’s true. How about on the day that are going to die I take pictures of all your body so I can remember it.

God chose perfectly when he put us together
How did he do that?
Well he looked at you and said I know the right mommy for you, and put you in my belly.
But how did he put me in your belly, was it magic?
Well it’s complicated. Mommy and daddy make a baby and then God looks at all the souls and chooses who that baby will be
How do mommy and daddy make the baby start growing?
Daddy puts a seed inside mommy and that seed makes an egg start growing, and that egg turns into a person.
But how does the seed get inside you?
It’s very late sweetie, it’s time for us to stop talking and go to sleep.
