Just noticed that its been an year since I wrote anything here. Thought I should write to you about the questions I am being bombarded everyday these days. Some questions that leave me baffled. Some that I know answer to, and just dont know how to explain.

Scene one :
S : Why cant I chew water?
Me: Um...because they are too slippery to hold between teeth.
S: why are they slippery?
Me: they are slippery so that we can swallow them without chewing.
S: why do we need to 'not chew' something?
Me: sometimes people dont have teeth.so those people can drink water.
S: why will some people not have teeth?
Me: babies wont have teeth. also some people might have lost teeth as they grow.
S: babies dont have teeth?
Me: little babies dont.
S: then they cant eat chapathi?
Me: no
S: no vegetables and fruits?
Me: no
S: then how will they become big?
Me: they drink milk. milk will help them grow and also help them grow teeth.
S: babies can only drink milk?
Me: they can drink water too.
S: only milk and water?
Me: yes
S: why only milk and water?

Cool questions and smart answers Mommy!!
And all know who wins....!!
One story from my side:
My Son says, "My name is A R J U N Tiger".
When I ask him to write it, it stops at ARJUN....When I ask him where is TIGER....he points...it to "ARJUN" and then to himself.....
I always end up losing.. ...And this cycle goes on.
HaHa, good one Rupa :) Ya there is always the same winner ;)
