Questions

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

Nope, Pucca is the character the series is named after -- Toon Disney 2030 and 0100 weekdays -- and Garu is the oblivious ninja she's obsessed with chasing down and kissing into submission.

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.

Santa:
Obviously, Santa Claus is busy watching all the kids to figure out whose being naughty or nice. He does have the CEA (Central Elf Agency) to help him, but there's a lot of reports to go through.

Nocturnal:
Yes, but they all live on the other side of the world. (Personally, I think it's perfectly fine to fuck with your kids.)

Love:
Sometimes you don't/can't choose who to love... I can't not love you, darling.

Good answers. :)
 
My daughter bless her heart, has in this past year (she's five) moved up from just the "Why?" questions. (I was explaining white blood cells to her as a 4 year old once because of the whole "why?" thing) Now it is "What does that mean?"

She sees an advert,

"What does "dashing good looks" mean?"

She reads a book

"what's that on dad's leg?" followed up with the old classic, "Why?" (A plaster cast it was)

"what is that on the dentist's face?" A mask deary,"Why's he wearing it?" followed swiftly by "why didn't our dentist lady wear one then?"

Nothing gets past this kid. It's a damn good briain work out, I'll tell you.

Yes it is! I guess that's what I was trying to say in the beginning. I can come up with answers for her. It's just hard sometimes.

Have you ever found yourself over-explaining? When she was around 4, she asked me what color the boy next door is. (He's black) So I went through this whole explanation about black people and white people and Asian people and Native American people, etc., and how everybody is the same inside and we treat people with respect no matter what color they are, blah, blah, blah. When I was finally finished, she said, "Mom, I just wanted to know what color he is, you know, like how we're peach. He's brown, right?" She was asking because she wanted to draw a picture of him.

I'm so dense sometimes. :D
