I’ve Got All the Answers
Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but when The Zen Baby asks me a question, I generally try to answer it with the correct information. I don’t whip out the flashcards or anything, but I figure, “hey, she asked. Might as well take the opportunity to teach her something.” Of course, in the way of all children, oftentimes I am the one who ends up learning a lesson. In this case, that the preschooler answer key is very much like the toddler answer key.
Case in point, our recent scientific discussion:
“Mama, what is the sun made out of?”
“Gas.”
“No, really what is the sun made out of?”
“Really, it’s made out of gas. A big ball of flaming gas.”
“Mama! Not that sun! The sun in the sky! What’s it made out of?”
“Oh, that sun. It’s made out of sunshine.”
“I thought so.”

Glad to see the sun is shining in your life…
When my girls say “Mom, I have a question”, my response is “I have all the answers”.
Mommy DOES always know everything!

That’s awesome I’ll have to keep that answer in mind, my answer would have been the same as what the moon is made out of, cheese… a melty ball of Fondue:) The funniest was her response, I thought so.. that’s the best.

I just can’t imagine answering all the questions without Google…no wonder my Dad always lied.
We’ve been having death discussions around here. Now those are TRULY fun.
You sound better. I’m glad. I haven’t been around for you as much as I could have been-it’s been hectic as hell. I’m sorry.
