The Toddler Enquirer

curious minds want to know!


when quade turned 3 he also turned into the "why" machine.


We've had the basic questions:
"Why do birds fly? "
with the follow-up..."why do airplanes have wings?"

When i pulled up to church last week he asked:
"why do we take Bibles to church?"
Then at church while going to the bathroom...
"why do we have penises?"(um, don't worry i saved the reproductive function for a future conversation...)

Living in Dallas produces another level of thinking, particularly in regards to traffic.

This morning while on interstate 75 he asked:
"why do people have houses?"
I responded with "So that people have a place to live." (feeling like that was an adequate answer)
He then gestures to all the cars stopped in traffic heading into downtown and said:

"No people don't live in houses. they live in their cars."

how sad, and unfortunately, true!
