Father Nature makes everything "man"-made

Tonight, driving home from dinner, the subject of Mother Nature came up. Charlie, my 7-year-old daughter, asked, "What about houses?" We explained that houses are man-made, to which my daughter explained without hesitation, "Oh, that must be Father Nature, then"--which logically follows since fathers are men.

I am constantly reminded of how I want to be as smart as she is when I grow up.
