Questions

[tickledkitty]

Yesterday my almost six-year-old daughter asked, "Where is Santa Claus now? I mean, is he on vacation or what?"

Today she asked, "Is there such a thing as nocturnal kids?"

Just now, in reference to some cartoon character, she asked, "Why doesn't she fall in triple-A love with someone else?" Huh?

Anybody have any answers? Look at your kids and wonder where they came from? I mean, jeez, wasn't it just yesterday that she was toddling around with those little curls on the back of her head asking, "Whazzat?" I had all the answers then. Now...not so much.

Sata Claus is easy. He's working on making next Christmas as good as last.

Nocturnal kids? Only naughty kids that don't get visited by Santa

I have no idea what that last one was...

 

[tickledkitty]

Ok, thanks.

How about this?

"Do you think love really is a handful of honey?"

 

[TheeGoatPig]

No. But both are sweet, and irresistable

1. Santa's making toys @ the north pole
2. Noctural kids are more commonly called teenagers
3. you are only allowed one triple-a love at a time

 

[Foxee Browne]

Ok, thanks.

How about this?

"Do you think love really is a handful of honey?"

No, but both can sticky and sweet

 

[DerelictionOfSanity]

Ok, thanks.

How about this?

"Do you think love really is a handful of honey?"

That sounds like someone gave her a metaphor. She'll probably start to take things less literally pretty soon. (If I remember the book I read on Language acquisition in kids properly)

Sounds like she might be misinterpreting some words she heard. Like the alternate kid version of many a song and prayer. They don't always hear what is actually being said. Heck, I don't always hear exactly what's being said.

Who's she hanging out with?

She is very verbal, and now that you mention it, she is a lot less literal and concrete now. She got the "handful of honey" thing from a book though.

Love is a handful of honey,
And love's making friends with the bees,
Even the flowers are bursting with love
When they're dancing about in the breeze.

That's just part of it. It's a sweet book.

Who's she hanging out with?

1. Santa's making toys @ the north pole

What? No summer vacation for Santa? I don't think so! This is quite, quite wrong. Santa is in the Bermuda Triangle on a lush, tropical island sipping Mai Tai's with Mrs. Claus (who looks just fine in her bikini, thank you very much!), and jotting down ideas for new toys which he'll e-mail to his workaholic elves. Here he is windsurfing if you don't believe me:

The Reindeer, in the meantime, are vacationing in Canada. They join the herds of caribou there on the tundra and have a lovely time playing those summer reindeer games.

2. Noctural kids are more commonly called teenagers

This is correct. Also "goths"--just ask "legal."

3. you are only allowed one triple-a love at a time

Also correct.

And love is handful of either orange, sage or wildflower honey. But not agave.

 

[Just-Legal]

This is correct. Also "goths"--just ask "legal."

*giggles* I'm not a teen any more! But guilty on the nocturnal front...

But you *were* a nocturnal kid, right?

"Why doesn't she fall in triple-A love with someone else?" Huh?

'Cause Pucca just wouldn't be interesting or funny without her obsession with Garu.

 

[LadynStFreknBed]

Yes, I have one of those nocturnal, goth teenagers...
Gotta love her though.. she's the only goth African American I ever saw.

My sons ask me a lot of science questions. Thank God for Google. It also helps that my bf is a geologist.

 

[Just-Legal]

But you *were* a nocturnal kid, right?

Ohyeah, got that from my daddy Put it to good use for three years working in bars and such.

 

[lovejones59]

Love certainly is a handful of honey.

I mean, if you happen to be into that.

Excellent, you triple-A mom. Hey, when she's older you get to purposefully use hip slang the wrong way and make her groan and roll her eyes. It's fun, positively Pavlovian. Trust me.

Enjoy the questions even if your not sure on the answers, sooner than you want, she will think she knows all the answers.

You will miss the santy clause question when she is old enough for you to reply "he's in jail for calling a lady a Ho 3 times"

Once when my niece was very young, and her mother had tonsil-itus, she brought a note home from school saying that she might have mis-understood something, because she was telling people her mommy had testicle-itus.

Kids, you gotta love em.

Thank you. That picture of Santa is awesome. I told her I heard he was in New Zealand. But I will give her this new information tomorrow. I enjoy reading your posts, 3113. Did I ever tell you that?

Hmm. Are those Pokemon characters? She was watching Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, I believe, and specifically mentioned a character called Berry.

Looking forward to it. Did you happen to see that Spongebob episode where Pearl gets all annoyed with Mr. Krabs for that? Classic.

I know you're right. I do enjoy her. She's a never ending source of entertainment.
