I had a conversation with my mother. She had beef on the table and I asked: "Where did the beef come from?” She said: "From the man in the van", so I asked: "Where does the man in the van get it from?" And she said that it came from the man on the farm. So I asked: “Where did the man on the farm get it from?" And she said, from the cow. So I asked: “Where does the cow get it from?" and she said: "You silly boy! It is the cow!" At that moment I realised that I had never connected the two things.
