The kid gets deep. The kid gets bored.
"Dad, why can't we see forever?"
"Dad, what's at the edge of space?"
"Dad, what happened before God?"
- My 9 year old, in a 30-second span.
"Daddy, can we please get out of the car?"
- My 6 year old girl, as I tried to answer these questions.
Love to all. Even you, the guy who ordered "three egg whites" at the diner.

What happens more often: the bored or the deep?
I am assuming this is the same kid who got upset when he won a game, you said "you kicked my butt" and he reversed it and said "is that what you think when you win?". What a remarkable kid!!!
You got it, Diana. Same kid. The thing that rocks about him is that he's also this crazy-fearless skateboarder who bombs into the half-pipe without a care in the world.
Ellie: both. :-)
We always end up answering all their questions...:)
heh you're making me re-think the whole adoption idea...
I plan to get my ideas for how to answer kids' questions from Calvin's dad in the Calvin & Hobbes strips.
Calvin: Dad, how do people make babies?
Dad: Most people just go to Sears, buy the kit, and follow the assembly instructions.
Calvin: I came from SEARS??
Dad: No, YOU were a blue light special at K Mart. Almost as good, and a lot cheaper.

Off topic: I've been watching your blog for awhile now. I'm looking for new panelists on my discussion blog, Discuss It. Would you be interested? Got to the site, http://www.discuss-it.net for details.
Your blog reminds me that children are gifts. It reminds me of all the clever, diverse, questioning, lovely, smart things they say. We I be so smart when I grow up?
Kids are so adorable!
Woah. Those are toughies. I bet you had great answers.
Three egg whites? In a diner? Mmm...I miss diners. Colorado thinks it has diners, but they're nothing like the Northeast. They close. Disco fries. Gravy and cheese and fries. Ecstasy.
