My son (3.5 years) is a 'Whyer'. I hear "why" at least a million times a day! So today, after the millionith WHY I ask him "Why do you ask so many questions?"

My son draws his eyebraws together and then looks up at me and says, "Cause I have all these questions inside of me and they just HAVE to come out."

Well, shut my mouth. LOL! I just had to share.

cute! Just so know, it doesn't stop with this type of kid. My son was a "Whyer" at three and is still going strong at eight. The other day he asked, "What's puberty? What's an audit?" I'm not always prepared with answers! Thank goodness for Google!!!

Thanks for the 'warning'. My neice just introduced me to Cha Cha (a texting service that answers questions), maybe I'll be texting my sons questions there! LOL!

Quoting usmom3:

when you homeschool the questions never stop. I have gotten really good at answering them while doing other things like cooking & laundry but if they ask something I don't know the answer to they won't leave me alone until I look it up on the Internet.

that is how dd is. she is 4 & if she keeps on she will be a walking encyclopedia by age 5!
