Q&A

Well, "Q" anyway. I remember hearing somewhere that the average five year old asks about 300 questions a day. I believe it. In fact, that estimate might be low.

Just the other day the boys spent over an hour cracking each other up with their "what if" scenarios (granted most of them involved potty humor, but it was an hour of peace for me so I chose not to fight that battle). And I've noticed lately that most of my conversations with Garrett have been increasingly one-sided. His brain (and imagination) are in overdrive and he shoots one question after the other, often times before I can answer the first one (and he always remembers the answers I give). Sometimes the answers are easy to come by, like "can Chase and Ella marry each other?" or "why are stars shaped like stars?"...and some are not, like "do angels have feathers?" and "are humans the only ones with five fingers?". And for the rest, well, there's Google.

Now I just have one question...since encyclopedias only contain so much information (and there are only so many hours in a day)....when we were kids (and without the internet)...did our parents just make stuff up?
