Could we have a "Children's Awkward Questions" topic?

[Portofino]

After dd asked me why ladybirds have black spots, I figured there was a gap in the market .

Such topic could engender real scientific answers alongside the fob off crap the rest of us come up with when pressed upon....

lol, Portofino - and thanks for the suggestion.

Anyone care to second that?

yep! We get all sorts of random ones from dd - including recently :

daddy.....
yes dd.......
why is your willy " " this big.... and DS' is only "" this big????

at which point I pointed out to DH it might be time to start throwing a towel around himself for the post shower dash!

Another one I have been stumped with recently is "why are there spiders? I don't like them..."

DS aged 2.9 - "What's in that van?" (on seeing a van of any description).
Or "What's that man called?" (on seeing a random man, who I don't know, passing by).

I just make answers up.
There's cheese in that van.
Than man's called Bob.
Otherwise I'd go insane.

Ah yes the make up the answers trick, know it well. Has it's own downfall though

Is the cheese for the little mice
Where does Bob live

etc.
etc.

had the baby one too! luckily not had the but how did the sperm and the egg turn grow into a baby?!?!?

You need the "How did I bgin?" book.

why did that man in the car in front buy a yellow car and not a red car?

Answers:

To his karate club
Me..at night....sometimes its yellow.

Mummy do you love that man? DD to me while we were being served in the co-op by a very scary looking individual with no teeth.

Cue hysterical laughter from all other people in the queues and a very red faced me.
