Wale Joseph Daughter: “Mum, why’s your tummy big?”
Mum: “That’s because I’m expecting a baby.”
Daughter: “Where’s the baby?”
Mum: “Inside my tummy!”
Daughter: (Looking totally shocked) “OMG you ate the baby?”
Son: Daddy does it mean that those who have blue eyes see things in blue?
What’s the greatest question you’ve ever been asked by a child?
If your child asked you where exactly God is in heaven, on which planet and if he could pay a visit, the chances are you’d need a moment, perhaps a search engine, call your pastor to figure it out or make up a story. Anyone who has spent some time with young children know that they ask “why?” a lot. Children have a curiosity about the world that leads them to question almost everything around them.
Unfortunately their parents typically don’t. A recent survey of 1,000 parents found that 83% of them couldn’t answer simple school science questions. While this may seem concerning, what’s more worrying is that 63% admitted to making up answers so that they didn’t have to admit to not knowing. So what is the right thing to do if you don’t know the answer?
