My gorgeous big man likes talking. He doesn't stop. My Dad has been waiting for him to say "why?" to everything pretty much since he started to speak. Apparently I made his life hell with the endless need for explanation as a small child. However, Joshua seems to have skipped the "why?" phase and is asking more thoughtful questions.

Here are some of the questions I have had to deal with in the last week....

What's the point of vegetarians? A good question that lots of people ponder.

Do guide dogs help people drive? No Joshua, that would be dangerous they aren't a SatNav. (Although the idea of a dog barking directions does amuse me a little.)

What would you do with me if I turned into a pumpkin? Carve you into a lantern and make you into a pie. But you don't like pumpkin pie do you? No but I don't know what else to do with a pumpkin - maybe I could freeze the pie.

Do bugulars go on holiday? Probably.

What would happen if dinosaurs didnt have ears? They couldn't hear?

It's christmas somewhere else in the world isnt it? No its night time somewhere else in the world.

Fleas eat your blood don't they? But they wont if you are wearing socks, right? mmmnnnn prob-ab-ly

Is that how moles kiss? I think you mean Eskimos.
