Not for the first time, Rowan raised a major philosophical issue with me just before bedtime (extreme stalling tactics to be sure) - "Sometimes I wonder if I am really real. Am I real Mummy? How do you know?".
It so happens that I am also reading "The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin" by PD Ouspensky. The self-same question is at the heart of it - what is real? what is life? how do you know you are living it? Unluckily for Ivan Osokin, he doesn't have his mother to tell him that that is a very big question which has puzzled many people throughout the history of man. But its STILL time for bed so shhhhhh.
Sorts out all kinds of difficulties - try it.
