My daughter is starting a “why?” phase, but at this point (she’s only 3), if I get stuck on a question, I can just give a long, boring, scientific explanation which usually leads to her playing with her toys and forgetting what the conversation was about. Glad I paid attention in physics and biology (let’s hope she doesn’t go the chemistry rout, or I’m screwed).

My favorite question, on the walk to school one morning in third grade, was, “If everything has gravity, does gravity have gravity?”

I interpreted this as asking whether gravitons have mass. Fortunately, by this point my son was perfectly willing to accept “I don’t know” as an answer.

Oh man – that reminds me of some of the kids I get in the bookshop. Yesterday a little boy kept asking me ‘why?’ and at some point I got so confused I just stared at him. He did stop asking questions, though. I imagine being a parent is like that, except all the time.
