My Daily Grind

Why is the dictionary important?

Why doesn't it snow here in the Philippines?

Why is Pres. Marcos a bad president?

How does Mama Rose (her great, great grandma) get so old?

Why do we always get the old things of Ninong (my older brother)? (Haha! This was a very interesting observation from her but it is quite true. Had to laugh at this, but explained "saving money" to her on a more serious note)

Did you choose me as your baby?

How did you get pregnant with me?

Why do Americans sometimes live here in the Philippines?

Why do we need to study?

What does God look like?

Why do people drink beer?

What does Ireland look like?

Why do we wake up, sleep again, then wake up and sleep again?  (I had a more difficult time with this than the "pregnant" question, more because it was introspective in nature. OMG if i get more of these, on a bad day, even I have to ask this question myself hehe.)

Oh yes, all from my 6 year old's restless mind. Endless brain teasers. Practically EVERYDAY. I bet so many parents can relate to this. Much harder for single parents though. When these hit you unexpectedly - other times I find it so cute, other times it's nerve-wracking (pregnant question) or just exasperating, this i admit. 

If i don't get to answer some "Challenger" questions, she irritatingly quips, "I thought you knew everything!". Smart aleck. Lol.

Come to think of it, maybe i overdid the classical music in the tummy bit. :)  But on the other hand, Jeanina may well be the most interesting GF conversation i could ever have in the future. The two of us guzzling down a few pints while viewing the sunset in Spain or Egypt. Not bad at all. 

Just bring on the questions, babe!
