My recent favourite is Miss 3 1/2 to her Nanny. ‘Nanny can I watch you in the shower before you get too old?’ What we want to know is what that means? So old she can’t shower, so old that miss wouldn’t want to watch………?

My oldest child, now five and a half has often asked curly, in depth questions from the age of four. The ones that spring to mind are “what are stars made out of?” And “what is my body made out of?” When we had the parent teacher interview half way through prep, his teacher told me he was a very deep thinker, to which I responded yeah, tell me about it. She told me of a time when she had overheard my son and another child discussing what made stars shine.
The downside is that these questions usually come when I am driving or doing something else that requires my concentration, and as I was never a great student, I usually don’t do a great job of explaining…

We were at a country football grand final, sitting in the stands with my friends then 6 year old daughter. She was kneeling on the bench seat facing backwards, when she loudly said “look at that funny looking man”. Horrified we turned around and sure enough both spotted a large man sitting with his arms crossed and in possession of the most ridiculous bright red mullet hairdo we had ever seen (natural hair colour). He was staring at us with a furrowed brow. Her mother quickly turned her around and told her that she was being rude and to stop staring at the man…to which she responded “not that man…the one on the poster on the wall”. Seems we adults were the rude ones.

Playing scrabble with a 7-year-old, she said “S. L. U. T, is that a word?” Trying to stop ourselves rolling on the floor laughing we finally told her it was. So of course her next question was “What does slut mean?”

My favourite question from my son who was 3 at the time. Whilst sitting on the toilet and concentrating hard on the job at hand, he asked me “Mummy, does poohs have eyes?” Still makes me giggle.
