Max asked me about our ancestors. At first I thought he was talking about folks in the Middle Ages.
Max: "Back in the day, when our ancestors didn't have forks and spoons, did they have to use their hands to drink their soup?"
Me: "I guess so."
Max: "Did they have oven mitts?"
Me: "Oven mitts? ... Wait. Are you talking about ancestors like those in the Middle Ages or something?"
Max: "No, I'm talking about the ones before - our hairy ancestors."
Me: "..."
Max wanted to know if the primates from which homo sapiens evolved had invented oven mitts to combat the temperature of hot bowls of soup.
