Suddenly I see where Creationism has the edge

Me, attempting to explain evolution in simple terms: “Over long periods of time, plants and animals change in relation to the changing world around them.”

Milo: “You mean I’m going to turn into a dinosaur? Cool!”

Me: “No, dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. But the tiny mice-like creatures that lived back then eventually evolved to become us.”

Milo: “You mean I used to be a mouse? Cool!”

Me: “Well, actually, those tiny mice became all sorts of different creatures, one of which was a creature like a monkey, and that monkey eventually evolved to become us.”

Milo: “You mean I’m half-mouse, half-monkey? THAT’S SO AWESOME!”
