Nobody ever tells you when you become a parent to be prepared for the most obscure questions ever posed to (wo)man. Truly, they border on the bizarre. Here is a sampling of questions Paul and I have been asked lately by our 3 somewhat intelligent children.
Who invented clothes? Do you know much about Shitzu dogs? What about Labradors? If there were no nerves in my hand would it hurt when I stabbed it? Why are the grill marks on my chicken black? Why aren’t they purple? Do you think there is a way to jump out of a window and not get hurt? Are nuts good for you? Are nuts covered in chocolate good for you? Do those actors in the movie (The Fugitive) get paid extra because they have to get beat up? If I ride my bike without the cap on the tire, will bugs get into the tires? Do you know anyone with really bucked teeth? Well, if you don't know anyone with bucked teeth, do you know anyone with teeth so big they couldn't fit in their mouth?
Sometimes I just have to wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes. How do they come up with this stuff?
I love those questions! Now you must post your answers.. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! I'm still laughing about the Fugitive one...
ReplyDeleteI think I know at least where they got the Shihtzu question. Travis's best friend next door is a Shihtzu. They asked me once what kind of dog she is, and I told them. I fear it sparked their imaginations! It is a silly breed name for a dog, you have to admit! (O:

ReplyDeleteREally...very funny kids you have!

ReplyDeleteTell Ilene I am on the lookout for a bucktoothed person for her.
ReplyDeleteI think actors SHOULD get paid extra if they're going to get beat up! I see a future union leader in the family . . .

ReplyDeletemy 10 year old sister refuses to say shitzu. and when she does, she sayss *beep*-zu. one question she's asked me that i find so hilarious is "what are the symptoms of puberty?"
- as if it's some kind of sickness!
harhar.
thanks for sharing and i love your blog. :)
I can only answer the first three questions: First is "Adam and Eve", Second and third is "next to nothing", and the fourth I decline to answer because I don't want to inspire anyone to experiment.
ReplyDeleteYou can't make this stuff up!
