You forgot to say "is only 6,000 years old and will always be 6,000 years old" now people might misinterpret our statements as us actually giving a damn about the concept of time!

Punish his profanity! Big Grin

Quote:Perhaps the purpose of this was specifically to teach them how to make cave drawings, or perhaps it was just caveman daycare. Maybe the children did this entirely on their own, with older children helping some of the younger ones.


As a surviving father I can assure you that there are rainy days when you don't give a flying fuck what your kids do as long as they do it QUIETLY.


"Go draw on the walls of the cave.....daddy's got a flint to knap."

Seems reasonable.
