I have always patiently answered my DD aged 9 questions, to the best of my knowledge and appropriate to her age. However, recently I have noticed that she asks silly (to me) questions, like "what sort of clothes would you have on your fairy" just as I'm struggling to get her toddler sister to put her shoes on, or getting her ready to leave.
Whitest at the G.P. and trying to talk to the G.P. she asks questions which not only irrelevant but also cannot be answered in a short way, then again in the queue at the chemists, while her sister is playing up and needs my attention. Is this a cry for attention? If so how do I deal with it, when clearly I cannot give her the attention she requires at that time.
Any advise please.

DD aged 9 asks silly and untimely questions at most difficult and inappropriate time. Is this attention seeking or something else?
