According to one telling of the story, Cain and Abel were actually fighting over who would marry the 'extra' girl. Cain claimed the right as the first-born, and Abel claimed the right b/c she was born with him. So yes, incest.

Not unusually, unmarried men (bochurim) are sent there even if they should be in their ripe early twenties already - keeps them out of trouble and costs the parents an arm and a leg.

I think froylein's right. Maybe now, maybe in a question or two down the road, you've got to articulate how Scripture should be read and understood. It sounds like you want a quick and easy, literal answer now to put off just this discussion. But that pesky kid of yours is probably onto you already. (Perhaps, however, God anticipated just these kinds of parenting moments when He created Playstation.)

His answer was that God had created others after Adam and Eve. Makes sense to me. I asked the exact same question to my Rabbi when we first learned this in elementary school.

I've repeatedly seen kids come up with pretty clever answers by themselves. Middle, I’d always start by finding out what his thoughts are and then take it from there.

I understand Sarah to be a half-sister of Abraham, Gen 20:11-12 and incest to only become incest with Lev 18:6-18.
