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?
