Emily:
Mama, did you feed Daddy mashed bananas when he was a baby?
(Whispered) How do you get married?

Why don't hummingbirds hum?
Maybe she is growing up a bit -- those first three questions have real answers!
Now I have another child asking questions. An older child, with hard questions. And I have no clue about these.
Alizona:
Where does static electricity go when it disappears?
How is cardboard made, and why is the corrugated kind stronger than regular cardboard?
How does a speaker transmit sounds and how do they make the sound that comes out of them real? (Why does my voice sound like my voice??)
Why does a speaker have a magnet in it? (After taking one apart to find the answers to the questions above, and not finding them!)
What are those round screw-looking things on top of electric poles, and what do they do?
How do they get pictures and sound onto video tape? Does it have to be black or brown tape? Or could you do it with white or red? What is the most mathematical color -- is it blue, or green? (Editor's note: Is that a real question -- one that has an answer??)
How am I supposed to find the answers to all the questions YOU don't know the answers to?
Uuuuu, mmmm, I don't know. You lost me after hummingbirds. :)
ReplyDeleteHas she mentioned the word "gun" while going through security at the airport? Or announced that we are going to 'crash' while landing? Sigh.. I just went through that.. thankfully security didn't hear and I don't think the passengers did either.. LOL
