Lately we have had some lively discussions with our resident red-head. The questions are definitely getting more difficult. I feel like I need more time to collect my thoughts! Here are these blue eyes full of wonder waiting to absorb any information I give her as fact. No pressure right? I do not relish in this type of authority. I do not profess to know it all, nor do I want too. But when she asks, I can practically hear the Jeopardy music begin to play. Let me give you some examples.-Question: Mom, where did I come out of and HOW?
-Answer: G-bean, I myself often wonder about that. Mommy was very happy (medicated) at the time and can't remember all of the details. But you came into this world in style.
-Question: Mom, can Daddy grow a cool mustache? Can I have one too?
-Answer: Well, Dad can grow one, but he starts to creep out the neighbors. And girls
can't grow mustaches. [RETRACTION] Actually honey, there are some women who can grow
some really nice ones, but don't stare directly at them. If mommy ever grows one when she gets old, it is your responsibility to wax it.
-Question: Mom, do you and Daddy have "True Love's Kiss"? (She watches Enchanted ALOT!)Answer: Some days. And the days we don't... Well, we just have to work a little harder for the magic.
-Reaction: That's not like the movie.
Mom Reaction: Yeah that stuff is propaganda.
Question: What's propaganda?
*And to think, we have only just begun to answer life's mysteries.

you crack me up... I have one that is like that (full of really hard questions that aren't supposed to be asked until he attends junior high) it is difficult to gather my thoughts too... and I am much less eloquent than you are... a little prayer and patience help- the questions always remain until answered...
yeah... notice the time... can't sleep.
how funny. most of the time i tell connor to ask his primary or preschool teachers if i don't know the answers. hee hee.
I like that idea Kristen, I'll have to remember that. I am not looking forward to any such questions. How fun for Gbean to ride the horses!
Too funny. She is very inquisitive! Kindof like my four year old. It is hard to know what the "right" thing to say is.
Yes, what is propoganda? LOL! Oh we certainly can dig holes with our kids, can't we?
