3. is for the way you ask questions.......I KNOW!!!

We are guessing at Moo moo's age is when the 50 questions start. I remember going through all this when my younger sister E was little (we are 16 yrs in age difference) and it used to drive me up the wall. Being only a teenager my tolerance levels weren’t that great. Now on the other hand….a little bit better.  

When we have conversations, Moo moo as she begins to think always says “I Know”.... followed with a pause and at the same time her little pointer moving next to her mouth and out comes what she has thought of. When the "I know" is spoken, Papa (hubby) and I already know we are in dangerous waters as she always asks for things she is not allowed to do or eat.

I know..... Mummy, Papa, Can I go in my pool? (on a 20 degree day, I don't think so).

I know..... Mummy, Can I have a coffee? (hell NO)

I know..... Papa, Can we go to wash the car? (for the millionth time this week)

I know ….. Mummy, Can I have a chocolate (um, NO. Not at 6pm at night)

And the questions keep coming. We are sure that at 13 years of age the "I Know" won't be the start of a question but a statement because at the age of 13 they know everything!!!

The funniest is when she asks questions about gender differences. She constantly says she is a boy because her cousin is a boy. Explaining the difference is where all the funny questions start, especially when she asks to see so she can tell the difference. Poor Papa freaks right out.
We also get the “What is she doings?” about everyone and everything. Her curiosity about the world makes her little brain tick so fast that she needs to know about everything surrounding her and why they are doing what they do.

What is the tree doings?

What is the horse doings?

What is the man doings?

After the question is asked, it’s the “Why?” This is the killer word because no matter how you answer her it just doesn’t stop until Moo moo is satisfied with the answers given to end that curiosity. It can go on for hours……..

An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.
