Tonight’s random bedtime question is…

[Goygh]

Bedtimes are so bloody random here.
“What are sea lions allergic to?”

'Mummy, it's so dark I think the abyss is looking back at me.' - my 9 year old.

Why is Jupiter so big? But why did it form that way as part of the galaxy? But why did the big bang happen? But what was there before the big bang?

6yo really testing the limits of my astrophysics today.

My son was great at these! One night: ‘mum, if humans didn’t have skeletons how would they get around’?

“Mumma Dance with me” she’s nearly 2 and just discovered the distraction at bedtime technique lol

I didnt do bedtime tonight as I was working but some classics from 3 year old DD include;

"Why did people live in this house before us?"
"Why don't [our neighbours 3 doors down] live next door to us?"
"Why does it rain?"
And my personal favourite;
"What is Jesus's favourite colour?"
(For the record, MN, I said white as it is holy)

This one is already the winner

Mummy, if I had a trillion pounds do you know what I’d buy?

(the answer was the Cola cola company. He doesn’t even like fizzy drinks 🤷‍♀️

if time travel is possible, then in theory is there one main core timeline with branches or is it more branches of branches when someone travels back in time to change an event and then comes to the future ?

obviously thats if time travel were poss

Shamelessly marking my place as this thread has potential to end up in classics.

Who puts the holes in cheese?
What do you do when I am asleep?

Our DS are 18 and 19 years old and we still have random conversations at bedtime. Usually when they come in from a night out and are “letting us know they are home” - the dog going berserk is clue enough…

it would make more £

You know how you can’t take more than 100ml into the airport? What would happen if I took x100, 99ml bottles of liquid in? (9yo DS)

basically mi5 agents would have a chat because even if tech correct its the number of them

My favourite from my 5yr old so far this week has been 'what are dogs made of?'
I have started writing these down as I never want to forget them

Very shrewd. My friend is an investor by trade and he teaches his (pre-teen) kids by giving them a very small allowance that he invests on their behalf on their choices. They’ve made some money on PepsiCo.

DS is only little but tonight Old McDonald had Superworms on his farm, so I had to figure out some lyrics for that 😄

"Auntie Bigfoot, can children retire from school?"

He was NOT impressed when I explained about work!

"Mummy, why can't I hear myself grow?'

"Why is Adam's daddy not his uncle?"

Mummy, how many of (insert random animal here) are there in the world?
Tonight was how many polar bears and how many adélie penguins. Specifically adelie penguins. Then saltwater alligators. DS is 6 and extremely precise.

"You know how everything is made from atoms? Are even bums made from atoms?" DD aged 6 after some lockdown home schooling

9 yo DS tonight “Mum I have a line that will get you out of any kind of sticky situation “
me “oh yeah what’s that”
”you just shout PROBLEM WITH BUM! And leg it!” 🤣

When DD was 5 ‘Mummy if you have a cat who’s the winner?’

"Why are there no reindeer at the South Pole?"

"Are Harry Potter's parents in hell? Why not?"

"I've written a novel about my life, can I read it to you?"

"Can you add together all the numbers from 1 to 650? Not using a calculator!"

"Can you fire milk at people from your breasts, like a gun?"

Also, not a question but

"The spookiest nights call for the trickiest solutions."

Nope, me neither

“Mummy, what’s a geriatric ward?”

Mummy where are stars from ? I know they come from space ‘matter ‘ (that’s ahead of me 🙈) but where does that come from ? (age 8)
