Recent Questions

As a teacher and a mother, I truly do subscribe to the notion that there's no silly question except the one not asked. I might not give the person the answer; I might ask (especially in terms of the kids) him or her to think through the problem and at least attempt to figure out the answer. But I encourage the questioning process.

There is no better time for questions to arise than when I am home with the kids almost 24/7.

• Why aren't Golden Retrievers allowed in stores?
• When I was little, did I always take a nap?
• What does the word abdicate mean?
• Can I read this book?
• Have you seen my sunglasses?
• Where is Daddy and why haven't we seen him for almost two days?
• Do I have to?
• What's for dinner?
• Do you only need sugar, salt, and water to make a cake?
• Can I have some lemonade?
• Is the quark the smallest particle out there?

And the granddaddy of them all:

• What is gay sex?

Wonder if they figured that one out.
