Questions from Henry

Henry has been driving me nuts...there is no other way to say it. He asks me a hundred questions a day. I don't think it would bug me that much if he was content with a short answer (or maybe even a white lie answer), but he isn't. He just keeps asking more questions. And I'm going crazy. Here are some of the questions he asked today:

Mom, when you are in the ground (dead) is your brain still thinking?
Mom, if the baby bunnies died, where did they die because they aren't in their hole?
Mom, can I have a weak snack?
Mom, can I get a toy at Meijer?
Mom, when will Becca have her baby?
Mom, why is Becca's baby a boy?
Mom, why did God choose for Becca to have a boy and not a girl?
Mom, when will Abby be home?
Mom, how long is 15 minutes?
Mom, why are some Garfield shows long and some short?
Mom, will there by chicken and fries in heaven?
Mom, when will the new Donalds be open?
Mom, why is it four more days and not three?
Mom, when will you die?
Mom, are peacocks real?
Mom, why isn't Ariel real?
Mom, why do we have to take baths?
Mom, when baby birds are born why do they have to learn how to fly and can't do it by themselves?

Those were just in about the past 10 minutes. :)

B,
It's wonderful that he has a curious mind! Although, I would be crazy, too. Keep smiling...

Bethany, I am LITERALLY crying because this made me laugh so hard. (Eden is in a similar stage so I can SO relate.) And DAMMIT, Mom, why are PEACOCKS real but not ARIEL?! Bahahahahahahaha!

He is obviously ripe for learning, Bethany! I hope your patience doesn't wear too thin during this growth-spurt of his brain. Your kids are so adorable...and you are such neat parents...just a perfect match!

Oh my gosh, what a terrifying glimpse into my future. Be sure to remind me how hilarious it is when I'm there and you're past it.

Just type out the questions and have him email them to me. I'll give him the real deal. And then you can just get sick of saying "Email your questions to Sarah" instead of getting sick of saying "I don't know." :)

Bethany,
I love it. What a great kid. I can hear him asking you all these questions. I bet these are just the ones you can remember. I am sure that there were a lot more.
Have a great summer

This is hilarious and I know it will only be a matter of time before I feel your pain!
