I was showing Charlie (my step-grandson, then aged four) old pictures of himself from my 'Chronicle
of Charlie' gallery. I was interested to see if he understood the continuity of his four years of life.
He did, making comments like 'That's me when I was a baby' and 'That's me when I was learning to walk.'
Then I showed him this picture. His immediate response: 'That's you when you were a monkey.'
(Actually, it's me when I was a koala – much further back in evolutionary time.)
