I read somewhere that the average 4 year old asks over 400
questions per day. I have no doubt that is true. Here is a list of the top 10
questions my 5 year old asked me today.
1.
What is that private thing that I came out of
when I was a baby?
Answer: It’s called a vagina.
He replies:
Ha-ha that is sooooo funny.
2.
Mom do boys have vaginas too?
Answer: No only girls have them.
He replies: That
is too funny.
3.
When was the television invented?
Answer: good question, let’s look it up. (The answer was actually more
complicated than I ever imagined)
He replies: Whoa,
that a long time ago. That’s funny, right!?!
4.
Can we eat our own poop?
(The mom in me wants to just yell, NO! But the teacher in me knows this
is a good question)
Answer: Yes you can, but it is a waste product that can make you sick,
even by just eating a little bit can make you sick.
Reply: -Breaks out
in laughter- (and….leads into the next question)
5.
Can guinea pigs eat their own poop?
Answer: Some animals do eat their own poop, but this is because they need
to in order to fully digest it. So sometimes guinea pigs do eat it for the
nutrition that is still in it.
Reply: Whoa that is
so funny. –Giggles--
6.
Why do we have wrinkles on our fingers?
(Had to look to see what he was talking about)
Answer: Those are called joints. They help us to move our hands and be
able to grasps things.
Reply: Oh, cool.
That’s why I can use tools so good.
7.
Why do you make so much dust when you are
cooking?
Answer: That is steam. Steam is water that vaporized and helps to heat
the food so that it cooks.
Reply: Oh neat! J
8.
Are all fruits and vegetables healthy?
Answer: Yes, they all have different nutrients and vitamins in them that
make us strong and healthy so that is why it’s good to eat different kinds.
Reply: EVEN CUCUMBERS, TOMATOES, BANANAS AND CARROTS? (Those are his
favorite!)
Answer: Yes, those are very healthy!
9.
What is a whirlpool in a river?
Answer: its water that is rotating really fast and typically objects are
drawn into it. It happens sometimes when water called currents is moving in
opposite direction as each other and they meet and cause a whirlpool.
Reply: That takes
stuff in the river and drags it down to the bottom.
10.
Do Rhino’s eat their own poop? (Seriously,
another poop question!?!)
Answer: (Had to look this one up) Yes, Rhino’s do eat their own poop.
Reply: That’s so gross –laughing his head off-
