Q & A

Those people who say that staying home and raising children is not intellectually stimulating have obviously never had a conversation with my sons.

Here are a few of the questions I've fielded over the last week or so.

"How big is a chemical?"

"Why did Heavenly Father create fingernails for our hands?"

"But HOW did they get the baby out?"

"What's a groove?" (As in The Emperor's New Groove)

"Why are guys sometimes bad?"

"Do wolves come from wombs or eggs?"

"Why can't we see stars in the day?"

"Where is the daddy elephant?" (The zoo's breeding program uses artificial insemination)

"What are spires for?" (As in church steeples)

The answers are not necessarily that complicated, but trying to put them into a preschool context certainly is.
