"Kids say the darndest things" says Ms Ella. Ms Ella is my 3-year-old daughter's day care teacher. My little one comes up with some remarks that are astounding in their simplicity and complexity at the same time. She says a lot of things of course! Phrases such as Drama Queen, Energizer bunny usually precede her name. Thought I will write them down. Here they go -
- On our ride to her day care on morning, she is doing her usual stuff - sing, talk, blabbler. "Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday" then followed by "Domingo, Lunes, Martes, Miercoles, Jueves, Viernes, Sabado" which was then followed by "Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday" which was then followed by "Domingo, Lunes, Martes, Miercoles, Jueves, Viernes, Sabado" .... so you get the idea of how our travel goes. Very communicative. And then she stopped all of a sudden and said "When will the days be over?"
- One other day she asked - "Why did you grow up?" There are moments in my life when I wonder about this too
- "Why is Addu a boy?" was her question the other day. Addu is her younger brother. I was contemplating many explanations to that question. Like on the physiological level or genetical level or even on a philosophical level. May be this would have been her sneek peak at probability theory. I ended up saying - "Because he is always bumping his head"

'cos he bumps his head??? nice one though :-) treya while waiting for her birthday moaned that she wasn't growing up fast enough :-)
A lot of questions children ask are not questions. They are just wondering aloud. They aren't really looking for a bumping answer. Also they needs not think in any domain (social, psychological, biological or philosophical). They are just musings - period.
