1) Why can't I watch more hours of TV, mamma?
Coz there are only 24 hours in a day and you cannot waste more time watching tv
Why are there only 24 hours in a day, mamma?
Spend the next half an hour trying to explain a 4 year old how earth rotates around it self, then around the sun, and why we don't fall down inspite of all the rotations.
2) What is this mamma?
This is a baby Papaya
Why is it green in colour, mamma?
Because its small now, as it grows big and ripens, it will become orange.
Mango also changes colour no mamma.. Will I also change colour when I grow big ?
3) What is water made of mamma?
Hydrogen and oxygen baby
No mamma, you are wrong, its made of liquid :)
4) What is our skin made of mamma?
What is there under it?
Is skin like elastic?
5) Why does the cat always meow? Why can't it talk like us?
The questions keep coming day in and day out. I can never be prepared enough. Sometimes, the information I give her leads to more questions !
She has succeeded in making me feel so dumb..what was I doing all my life not already knowing the answers to the questions she is asking. Why wasn't I ever so curious? Why did I never question the facts I was made to learn? How did our parents know the answers to the few questions we asked them without GOOGLE? How did they survive without access to the information?
I am so glad we have access to every bit of information and it's never too late to learn and tell the baby who wants to learn too!
