Have you ever tried to sit down and ask yourself whether you understand your child or no! Have you ever wondered what is your child thinking! I don't know about others but my assumption is that every parent thinks about these small things at least once in a day. Our child- our precious little gift and creation is surrounded by so many questions and awaits the answers from us.
My child is one of those curious varieties who needs to know everything going on around her. Sometimes her questions baffle me but at times they actually make me think about an answer. And we all know that a child's curiosity is never satisfied till they get to listen the answer and mostly it is what they want to hear. I was once after my husband to get up and get ready to go to the gym. I asked my daughter to wake her father and she promptly did a good job of waking him up. I then asked her to tell him to get ready gym. She then told him to get ready for gym and started pushing him to wake up. Then all of a sudden she turns to me and says, Mom I'll wake him up but could you please tell me what do you mean by GYM! That little question blew my mind off completely. I could not control my laughter but I also realized that her question was appropriately put! These small things take you aback and make you wonder whether you are equipped to handle all the questions that your child's tiny little mind spurts out! Though I gave her an appropriate answer (so I think), she promptly told her father to go back to sleep. That was another moment to laugh on. This is just one of the many incidences that I have encountered and I am sure there are more to come.
I am sure most of us have had these experiences and we really do not know how to tackle life's simplest questions asked by our children. Our biggest learning curve is when we become parents and learn to read and write along with our children. Sometimes our children teach us more than we think they do. So if you have have any funny and cute little stories to share do that :) It'll simply make you smile :)
