I think I need a set of encyclopedias...

Ava has a "fun" new game that she likes to play while driving called "I ask a question, you ask a question". She is allowed to ask us anything and we have to answer as best we can and then ask her a question. She comes up with some doozies too!
Ava- "How do clouds know when to rain?"
Me- I think I made something up about clouds getting too heavy so the water starts leaking, etc.
Ava- "Where does power come from?"
Me- Ummm, power lines, and maybe a power plant, transformer, something something windmill, negative charge....ummm...yeah.
Ava- "What does the inside of your body look like?"
Me- Sweet! I can answer this one! Well, there are bones and blood and organs and tissue, an-
Ava- "Mommy! Did God put the tissue there in case a kidney needs to blow his nose?"

Sure Ava, sounds good to me. What was your next question?

Sounds like her Uncle Michael who asked crazy questions about black holes, space travel, and our philosophy on life at 11 and 12years old! They sure do keep you on your toes! -Mimi

Ness, I used to carry a pocket encyclopedia in my car coz that was where all the good questions came up and I would forget to look up the answers by the time we got home. Now I just have my iPhone toting Internet with me at all times. How did I ever live without it? Ava is so cute with her questions.
