hypothetical conversations

Sometimes Ammon and I like to have these crazy hypothetical conversations  (mainly because he starts them). They go a little something like this:

Ammon: what if humans laid eggs?
Me: uh...(It takes me a few seconds to process Ammon's hypothetical questions)
Ammon: people would want the nicest incubators for their babies. they'd probably still have babies at the hospital. they'd have high tech incubators.
Me: true... (I'm still trying to process the idea of humans laying eggs)
Ammon: actually, people would just buy incubators and lay them at home.
Me: so how many eggs would we lay? would we be having 12 kids at once?
Ammon: maybe. and then people would probably start stealing eggs! 
Me: yeah, that's probably why we don't lay eggs.

And that was how the conversation ended. Ammon's really good at coming up with hypothetical questions. When I try, here's how it goes: {notice it's a lot shorter}

Me: what if jobs were categorized by city?
Ammon: you mean put all the surgeons in one city?
Me: yeah. and all the teachers in another city.
Ammon: that wouldn't work. "oh no, my house is on fire. 2 hours later, the firefighters arrive. my house is already gone."
Me: yeah...

I figure after being married to Ammon for a few more years I'll be much better at this hypothetical thing. Until then, what if all the colleges were randomly demolished by terrorists?

  2. sounds like the Ammon I know and love.
    Given the nature of my writing/storytelling, I had interesting answers, some of which were utter (hilarious) nonsense. x)
