An assortment of thought-provoking questions from kids who say the funniest things:
1. "Is the queen going to be OK?" (Asked after a kindergarten class sang "God Save the Queen" for the first time.)
2. "Why does the bear wear pants, but no shirt, while the duck wears a shirt, but no pants?"(Asked while reading a children's book. Her mother took this opportunity to introduce new vocabulary, like anthropomorphism, to her 3-year old.)
3. "Will you be my valentine? But don't tell Tom. I don't want to create an environment of competition." (Asked by my then 5-year old neighbour. Where did he hear of environments of competition?)
4. "Dad, how is the dollar doing?" (Asked by me, at the age of 6, over breakfast one morning in 1981. Clearly, I was destined for business. Clearly, Dad was obsessed with the foreign exchange markets.)
What have kids asked you lately? Did you know the answers?
