I could not wait until Lucas started talking. I thought I would be one of those moms that would embraced all of the questions asked by their growing child. I told myself I would never lie to my child, if I didn't know the answer I would find out and tell them the thruth. I would never manipulate my child or use anything to persuade him to do what I wanted him to do. We would talk it out and our lines of communications would always be opened. OK, I was naive and completely did not know what I was talking about. With Lucas, I have lied, manipulated, used any tricks that I can use and I honestly can say they were necessary. Now, with Noah I am afraid I will be doing the same thing.
Lucas is constantly asking questions and sometimes I dont know the answer or just too tired to explain it all. Sad but true.
Lucas questions,
Lucas: why is Jesus always in a cross? who put him there? how can he help people if he is in a cross? how can Jesus hear me if he is Heaven, that is far, how can he hear me?
Mommy: Let's wait one more year and then you will be going to Jesus school so there you can ask all these questions to them. OK. ;)
Lucas: why do you pee sitting down? you are doing it wrong, let me show you.....
Mommy: no it's OK, girls pee this way.
Lucas: why don't you have a pee pee mommy?
Mommy: go ask your father.
Lucas: what kind of people live in Jupiter?
mommy: no one lives in Jupiter?
Lucas: why?
mommy: Because its a different planet and I don't think anyone has ever been there?
Lucas: Why mommy? how can we know if anyone lives there then?
Mommy: Ask your Father.
Lucas: mommy why do I have to eat my broccoli?
Mommy: because you won't grow if you don't?
Lucas: what proof do you have?
mommy: look at daddy, he didn't eat his broccoli and he didn't grow, uncle Kris ate all his broccoli and look how tall he is.
Lucas: I think I need to eat all my broccoli!
Noah's questions:
Why?
But why?
why why why why why.........why?
If you are the mother that doesn't do this, than I am impressed and more power to you. I hope one day the boys forgive me.
