E: Where do seeds come from?
A: Plants produce seeds during their life cycle that fall to the earth and grow the next season, or are moved around by bugs and animals and 'planted' in different areas, or harvested by humans to plant in gardens.
E: No...I mean how did the seed get there?
A: It grows inside the plant, just like you grew from a 'seed'.
E: No. You guys aren't listening. How did the FIRST seed get here?
C: Some people think that energy from the sun and water from the planet reacted with some type of matter that started the first living thing that evolved into all the different plants and species we know today.
E: [Irritated stare]
A: These are really big questions Evelyn, and we don't actually have all the answers - I mean, the world doesn't have definate answers.
E: I just can't stop thinking about it. How did seeds get made?
C: A long time ago there was a factory that made one of each kind of seed that started the whole process. We don't need that factory anymore.
E: Oh. OK.

That is awesome! If she's asking questions like these already, she may grow up to be one of those physicists you work with! I LOVE Cory's answer at the end and her reaction! That is totally priceless.
I read this ages ago and I still laugh about it :)Kate recently asked the same sort of questions about babies "But what about the FIRST baby, mom?"
