(This is a post from my deleted blog.)

When we visited The Magic House in St. Louis, I saw a sign that said the average four year old asks 437 questions a day. I would say that my five year old is certainly in the ballpark on this one. Of course, most questions are simple: What are we having for lunch?, Can I have some milk?, Where are we going?, Can I have a Playstation?, How far is one mile?, etc...

And then, of course, there are the questions that take you by surprise.

My Favorite Boy: Mom, can I have your car when you die?

Me: Sure.

My Favorite Boy: Thanks. That will really save me a lot of money!

Of course, while I will gladly leave my car to my son, I hope it won't be for many, many years. For those of you who know Dad, I am sure you are smiling at my son's reasoning. You know Dad is all about finding the best deal. As they say, "Like father, like son!" :)

Here is another conversation that recently took place at our house.

My Best Girl: Mom, will you read Three Billy Goats Gruff to me while I go potty?

Mom: Could we read something else? We have read that one about 300 times.

My Best Girl: No. Three Billy Goats Gruff really helps me poop.

I just thought I would share that in case anyone needs help. I am sure you can find it at your local library. Beware of the side effects. You may be saying "Trip-Trap" in your sleep. :)

I guess one of the reasons kids are so much fun is you never know what they will say next! Have a great day!
