It takes me 15 minutes to get to, or from Aidan’s school. In our 15 minute car ride home today, she asked me the following questions:

1.”I missed you at nap time mommy. What does “missed” mean?”

“It’s when you want to see someone.”

2. “Like I want to see Grandpa?”

“Yes.”

3.”Where are Grandma and Grandpa going to live when they’re here?”

“They won’t be living with anyone, they’ll be sleeping at Uncle Micah’s house.”

4.” Does Grandpa walk with a walking stick?”

“No.”

5. “Why?”

“He doesn’t need one.”

6. “Why?”

“Because he can walk.”

7. “Why does Papaw (my grandfather) need a walking stick?”

“Because he can’t walk without it.”

8. “So why doesn’t Grandpa use a walking stick.?”

“Because, He. Can. Walk.”

“Oh yeah.”

9. “When will they be here?”

“Tonight sometime.”

“I thought you said they’d be here today.”

“By the time they get here from the airport, it will be dark.”

10. “What if it’s dark while they’re in the plane?”

“It wont be dark while they’re in the plane. Plus, planes can fly in the dark. So, nothing to worry about.”

9. “But where will they sleep in the plane?”

“They wont be sleeping in the plane. But if they did, they’d just sleep in their seats.”

“Oh!”

10. “Do Crocodiles live in that water?”

“No, they don’t.”

11. “How about fish? Do fish live in that water?”

“I think that water is from all the rain we’ve been getting. It’s not an actual pond, or river.”

12. “Why does the wind blow all by itself?”

“I’m not sure if I know how to answer that, we’ll have to look it up in a Science book.”

13. ” Do we have a Science book?”

“Yes, somewhere.”

“Hmmm…maybe I’ll just ask God.”

14. “How does the sun keep us alive?”

“Well, it gives light to the plants, and the plants make oxygen so we can breathe.”

15. ” How do plants makes oxygen?”

“It’s called Photosynthesis.”

16.”What if Grandma and Grandpa, don’t come here?”

“Aidan, everything is fine. Stop worrying, and go with the flow.”

17.”What does “flow” mean?”

“Aidan, you’ve reached your question quota for the hour”
