Questions and Attitudes

Anna is filled with them. Here's a sample.

We start with the investigative and matter-of-fact:

  • "Mommy, how do the plants just disappear when winter comes?"
  • "Mommy, why do bees make honey?"
  • "What is holding the terrace up?"

... and continue with the touching yet slightly mischievous:
  • "Do Mommies always remember what you [Anna] are doing while they [Mommies] are sleeping?"
  • "Mommy, why are farmers the ones who have beehives?"
    [Read: "If we're so sure it's not going to fall down, why can't we get one for our terrace?"]

... and finish with the skeptical and borderline litigious:
  • "Mommy, now how does a baby just appear in your tummy?"

Notice: no answers. I promised to Google and get back to her.
