Tonight, over dinner, we were discussing all the things that Larkin and Finn now do for themselves that they used to need Emile and I for. Specifically, Larkin was explaining why it was sometimes nice to have us read a book even if she could read it herself.
Emile (in his best Buddha voice): Do you not know the essence of the universe, young one?
Larkin (immediately): Quarks?
Emile (losing his sonorous tone in his surprise/confusion): Well, yes, unless you believe the string theorists... but I meant Change, grasshopper!
Larkin: I was pretty sure it was quarks. Unless they've recently discovered something smaller that Jenny doesn't know about yet.
Clearly, philosophical grounding has not been a focus at our house lately.
