(Or, "I’m bored on Friday night and this is the 2nd post in the last few minutes." If you’re interested, the 1st one is just down the page a bit. It’s scandalous. SCANDALOUS, y’all.)
Ask My Kids…
(featuring Kim-11yr, Ethan-5yr, and Caden-2yr)
Mandy asked my kids, "Where does honey come from?"
Kim-11yr: surly silence. I repeat the question in a gentle tone. She narrows her eyes and ever so slightly snarls her upper lip.
I now move on to more cooperative interviewee. "Where does honey come from?"
Ethan-5yr: "From bees. They mix it with water and nectar in their honeycombs. They stir it with their tongues and it makes honey!"
(Ew. Gag.)
"Where does honey come from?"
Caden-2yr: "YEAH!" (But that’s his answer to everything)
And Heather asked my kids "What would you do if pigs could really fly?"
Kim-11yr: hair flip, eyeroll
"What would you do if pigs could really fly?"
Ethan-5yr: "Oh, well I’d catch one in a butterfly net, by leaning out an airplane."
"What would you do if pigs could really fly?"
Caden-2yr: "YEAH!" (but, again, that’s his answer to everything)
Now accepting new questions, since I have not bored of this little game yet.
I love you.

I’m so glad you’re still taking questions! I wanted to ask one before, but my brain was too fuzzy to think of anything. My question for your kids is:
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it really make a sound?
Not very original, I’ll grant you, but I’d like to hear a kids’ perspective on it.
Are Happy Birthday wishes in order to Caden-2yr? I just noticed his name had changed slightly.

Ruben says,
About honey: “Bees. Duh! Everybody knows that.”
About pigs: “I’d ride on one. And use their oinky-powers to fight crime.”
(Not only is he in between Kim and Ethan age-wise, he’s sort of there answer-wise, too, I’m thinking.)

Hey! Here’s another one. Ask them why some 9/10 year old girls talk in weird/baby/overly enunciated voices.

Hey these are great!! Try aking them where snow comes from, since you don’t get any in your neck of the woods this should give something to think about:)

I have another one!!! Moriah said to me, ” I didn’t know we had a doorbell…” I was like, what??! She then said..”where does the sound come from??” And I show her the big white box that is amazingly attached to the wall. So, ask yours..where does the doorbell sound come from? This is fun. Poor Moriah.

Those are the cutest answers ever!!! I asked my dog, but all she could do was bark at me.

this is cute!! I love kids and the way they look at things… I remember once my son left open the back door and Grandma asked him “were you born in a barn?”—- Randy tilted his head pondering, and shrugged saying “well I dunno was I?” he had never been asked that before.. of course us being good parents and all had him convinced he was found at the zoo, so probably was born in a barn somewhere… Now that I think about it… we never told him any different………..hmmmmmmm
