Is Grandpa a Monkey?


Holli and I had a conversation recently about why people have hair on their arms and legs. I tried to explain that over a period of millions of years monkeys have evolved into people. Today, apes are still covered in hair but people don't have as much. It's hard explaining evolution to a 6 year but I tried. She thought about this for a few minutes and then asked... "were your parents monkeys?" I told her Grandma was not a monkey but I wasn't sure about Grandpa. A few days later we were waiting in line for the diving board at the pool and out of the blue she asked "was your Grandpa a monkey?"
