Intellectual curiosity

Sushi dinner with the boy tonight.

In the bathroom of the restaurant after dinner, he asked me “Dad, is everybody’s pee the same or different?”

I said, “Well, it’s all basically water with wastes we don’t need.”

“But, Dad, does pee have DNA in it? Does it have a person’s DNA in it?”

“I’m not sure. I think it might. I think you might be able to identify a person from their pee.”

“That’s what I was thinking,” he said.
