My 4 year old has declared that he knows everything. Ask him anything and he will bestow on you his wisdom and knowledge.

Why is a circle?

My 4yo once asked me this. Talk about existential! I countered with 'Ask daddy when he gets home'.

Things are circles because they are round and flat. And a Sophia is a circle the WHOLE way and it’s lots and lots of circles all the way in.

Which make the best pets ? Cats or dogs ?

Kittens because kittens are much more cuter. Dogs are too barky!

Amazing thread!

My DS (13) asks:

'Is it ever okay to break the law?'

<side note, I'm not sure why he's asking this Hmm>

No. Because you will get told off.

Where were you before you were born?

My DD up to the age of about 5 used to tell me about her previous lives. I understand this is not uncommon and that it usually ceases at about that age.

I was nowhere.

Ask him if sharks have eyelids? My now 17yo DS once woke me up at about 4 in the morning to ask me that very question 🤬

No. Because they’re under the sea, and it’s too wet. And they don’t have bones.

Show quote history

That is so fucking weird that you said that or rather that your son said that. I was talking to my mum about astronaut training today 😂about how fast they have to simulate going and I was saying I could never do that. After watching Deep space Homer season 5 Simpsons episode. Weird as fuck!

Oh I have another if that’s ok?

If he could have any super power in the whole wide world what would it be?

I would rather have um the power of fire. No speed. Fire AND speed.

Fab thread. ❤️

What is love?

Love is something where you like each other so so much. If you like me more than ever, that’s when it’s called love. I love mummy and I love daddy and I love my sister. I love daddy 365 because he’s so hard working and he’s got so much care. Love feels like being so so happy.

@iknoweverythingbecauseiam4 I already love your child!± and they are totally brilliant, and absolutely correct on everything (well, maybe not Uncle Josh, but then again, I don't know Uncle Josh)

What question would he ask someone who knows everything?

(Thank you for the previous answer, now trying to find a wedding place to go and look for a nice man who likes jokes!)

Chickens are made by chickens. And salmon is made from salmon. And smoked salmon is made from smoked salmons.
