My daughter asks at least 1 million questions a day. Yes, I know this is normal and part of kids growing up.
Everyone says to answer their questions the best you can, or try to find out the answers together... or something like that.
M loves to ask impossible questions. Usually in the car. To the point that I have to decree the remainder of the car ride a "quiet ride" because the questions start to get really irritating.
But if any of you know the answers...please share, because I am clueless...
Who is that? (Generally someone in a store. A non-employee so they're not wearing a nametag. The nametag is extremely useful for this question. "Who is that?" "Oh, that's Bob." The end.)
Related to this is the "What's that?" Usually asked while driving on the highway at 60 mph. My usual answer is, "I don't know, I'm driving the car!"
Is (insert friend's name here) going home now? Errrr. I don't know. Do I lie and say yes or just say I don't know. My usual answer...I alternate between the two answers. Apparently I should poll the Moms before we leave preschool.
Again, a related question: "Where is that guy going?" How the EFF should I know?
And just today, the question: Why do cows like hay Mommy?"
Seriously, if you have the answers, let me know.

Why do cows like hay Mommy?
Beacuse everyone has to eat something.
In case M asks about us, we usually do go right home after preschool...
Oh, and I usually respond to the "hay" type questions by asking them if they've ever eaten hay...mmmm! yummy!
Those questions are nothing - compared to the big one...
"WHERE DO BABIES COME FROM?"
Just be ready. That's all I'm saying.
I have a simple solution for those car ride questions:
Turn the radio up REAL LOUD and pretend you don't hear them.
When I was a kid, we just looked out the window and kept our thoughts to ourselves.
Kids these days.
Ahhhhh, the question time. I get that. I usually say, "If you think you already know the answer to the question, then don't ask it." It actually works sometimes!
