Oh, Barrett. True to toddler form, the things that come out of our little man’s mouth, leave us laughing & exchanging glances from across the room. Since Barrett could talk, he’s been full of questions.
Why those guys not have birds? {insert animal as need be}
Why you not turn the sun down? {daily. he wants the sun either turned off or on}
Who those guys are? {about any group of people in a book, on tv, on the street, in his imagination…}
What her name is? {about any person in a book, on tv, on the street, in his imagination…}
Why we didn’t see the giraffes? {it’s never about what we did, but rather what we didn’t do}
Why daddy go to work? {daily}
Why do you wear tennis shoes but don’t wear Pumas? {daily}
The above sampling is just a small smattering of the regs. It doesn’t matter what the topic, inquiring minds want to know…and inquire he does…all day long. Though the questions {and the phrasing} have become more sophisticated over the last year and a half… questions {continue to} abound.
And the most recent questions have left us sometimes scratching our heads {and giggling inside} while we figure out that oh-so-perfect response.
Why you don’t have a penis and a butt? Why instead you have a gina {jy-na}?
Why you have a big bottom on your butt?
Why you stand up to pee? Why mommy doesn’t stand up to pee?
Why my poop so big?
Why Jonah doesn’t have a gina?
Oh the things kids say. And the things they think to ask. It’s a good thing I’m not shy. And that I’m fairly unflappable. Because if I wasn’t, well, I suppose I’d have to learn to be.
