Alex's words III

A few choice words lately -

What the heck? (hands on hips - explains it's what another child at school says when angry...hmm, going to have to work on this one)

Why is he old? (pointing to an older gentleman)

Did he draw on himself? (seeing a tattooed gentleman - this coming from someone who regularly draws on herself)


For Memorial Day (a combination of ANZAC Day and Ancestor Day): Why did they die? Why are they having a funeral? (plus a million other death/war related questions)

Why is it raining? (Because the meteological conditions favor it?...)

Oh boy...are we in trouble...

Don't woory about this -celebrate! Some of the greatest minds on earth have struggled or are struggling with the very questions that Alex is asking. Encourage her to seek the answers.

Why? Why? Why?
Just remember you were asking all those questions once! Just answer as well as you can Alex will soak up as much info as you can give her.

Just tell the truth! There's nothing worse than having to explain to a child you teach that something they have been told is a total fabrication - breaks their little hearts! She will thank you for it later :-)
