The maker

The kids have been increasingly pondering about life and death of late. While Mira suggested that we tell the Jesus in the church to bring Donypapa back to life (since the one at home doesnt move!), Ash is getting more and more interested in the Christian version of human evolution. He is in fact more interested in the practical aspect of Creation.
"Did Jesus make all of us?"

"But wouldnt his hand ache making so many people? Did he make Vibeesh uncle (who is very obese) downstairs, Benoy uncle in church etc.?"
Now, to the next question.
"How did he make all of us?"
"Mannu (which in Malayalam means sand)," V tells him.
"Oh, does he go to the beach to make them in sand?"
