Our Little Thinker


My little Parker talks. A lot. I love that he does that; it's so fun to get a little insight into how his brain is forming itself. The other day, he and I were in the car for about 20 minutes. He asked me so many questions, and so many of them were funny, that I decided to write them down. I'm so glad I have this blog or I would never have done something like that.

Here they are, in the order in which he asked them. And I quote:

"Is toothpaste sticky?
What does "gang up" mean? Do some girls "gang up" on boys? When me and Miles grow up, we're gonna do nice ganging.
Why do you have to wash off owies?
Are there any grocery stores in Egypt?
When can we go to a hotel and go swimming?
Why isn't it good to push on your eyeballs?
What's inside your bones? (I said blood-ish stuff) What's inside your blood? (me: cells) What are cells? What's inside those?
When will I be six?
How old will you be when I'm 73?
How many legs do you have to have to touch a cloud?
Can a birdie fly as high as a cloud?"

A couple more of his most recent questions, that I want to save for posterity:

"Why doesn't it ever rain or get cold in Egypt, but it gets cold at Mabel's house?" (in AZ, since both are deserts, this is confusing, obviously)
"Do Heavenly Father and Jesus have an age?"
"Mommy, where did Jesus go on his mission?"

Silly boy, what a little thinker he's turning out to be.

Those are such great photos Natalie! James and Emily talk pretty much no-stop too. Many times though I can't remember what they were saying by the time I can write it down.

Sounds like my Alec- he's 10. He asked "I wonder if Uncle Walker still wears boxers??" Too funny! Kids are awesome.

Good thing you have baby Miles, because Parker is definitely growing up! He looks so old in those pictures, and obviously his mind is well on its way too!

Natalie said...

Jayden talks non-stop, too - but no questions...wonder if he'll ever ask questions - or if he'll just continue to think that he has all the answers.
