I don’t think I am…
Since Aidan started talking , I don’t think my general knowledge has ever been tested this much in my life, not in my inter-school quiz and debate years, not on game nights not even on my matric question paper!

Aidan is basically a question generator… like they could probably use him for a game show or for creating an app (I know I’m not the only mom who feels this way about her pre-preschooler)
– Mommy, what are flowers for?
– Why is there only rain sometimes?
– What sound does a penguin make?
– What is a ducks favourite food?
– What is a dogs favourite colour?
– What is the moons real name?
– Why don’t babies have words
– Why are some things big and some things small
– Why is there only rain sometimes?
– What sound does a penguin make?
– What is a ducks favourite food?
– What is a dogs favourite colour?

I want to give him a proper answer so sometimes I ask him to give me a second to think about it(or Google it)….but because he is only two I need to walk a thin line between education and being ridiculous with flow charts and info graphics trying to explain the theory of relativity to a not yet potty trained two year old…
– flowers are pretty to attract bees and the bees help make more flowers
– we have to wait for the sun to fill the clouds with water and when clouds get full the water comes out as rain
– it makes a sound almost like a donkey braying (so says google)
– not bread (As popular culture would have us believe) but fish, snails, worms, crustaceans, grasses, weeds, aquatic plants, small amphibians, insects, seeds, fruits and nuts (totally Googled this)
– it is believed that dogs only see blue,yellow and grey
– moon is the official name
– you learn words as you get older (oh boy do you ever)
– everyone and everything is different because the world is like a puzzle and being different makes us all fit together (a lil deep for a 2 year old but hey)
– ants you say? Here watch the Ants movie (not scientific but it bought me a little time until . . .) …. These ants walk and talk like people, are they people ants? I guess. Why don’t the ants wear clothes? Because only people wear clothes. People ants should wear clothes, this one is a boy right mommy? Yes he is. If he is a boy where is his penis, his penis should be in his pants but he has no clothes on. It’s a cartoon Aidan. Hey uncle ant where is your penis? Can I call him penis mommy? Oh where is penis going? Penis ran away…BED TIME BED TIME! Do ants sleep in beds? I think people ants sleep in beds, do they put on pajamas at night but no clothes in the day. . . . . .

My son also has millions of questions these days. Flowers and ants are the easy stuff though. Wait till they are four and five- then comes the deep questions that even Google can't answer for you- life and death and religion and the meaning of it all.
Nooooooooooooooo!!! I just don't wanna, maybe I should get an Iphone and he can ask Siri, hehehe
Hehe, so cute. I can't imagine the questions i'l be getting out of my two. Looking forward to having actual conversations though… Right now, their favourite word is "No!".
Your quiz sessions wwill be in stereo… good luck with that hehehe 🙂
