"I wonder how big the girls' brains are. Chickens just seem so dumb. Their heads are tiny to begin with, so their brains are probably only about this size [the size of a quarter]. You know? Well, that's okay. They don't really need to be very smart. God made them as smart as they need to be, so I guess it doesn't matter. They're perfect."
At lunch today, apropos of nothing:
"Nothing, always, and forever, are so confusing. Nothing. What does that even mean? If I try to imagine nothing, I imagine darkness. But darkness is not nothing; it's darkness. Or lightness, just lightness, that's not nothing either. It's just impossible to imagine something that is nothing. Do you know what I mean? And forever ... what does that even mean? Sometimes I just can't figure this stuff out."
and a little while later:
"All these people who think that mother nature had anything to do with life, they just don't make any sense. Mother nature? Really? I wonder who they think made her. They just don't know what they're talking about. Obviously, there is a God. Obviously."

Headache. What do you say in response?
Ear plugs make fabulous Mother's Day gifts.
