The following are a list of questions, asked by my stepchildren over the last 4 years….
Can we get a goat?
What good is reading when everything is made into a movie?
Is that a whale I just heard? (we live in the center of Texas)
Does anyone make saddles for horseflies?
How come we don’t have a helicopter?
Can I get a rat?
Do chickens know how to sneeze?
Can I be a rapper?
Does a zebra have black stripes or white stripes?
Can I have a credit card?
What does junk in the trunk mean?
Can I stay over at my girlfriend’s tonight? (asked the 15 year old)
Do you know any ninjas?
Isn’t the mustache I’m growing sweet?
(2 hairs above the lip that I needed a magnifying glass to be able to see)
Why do I need to learn to tell time when there is a clock on my phone?
Do I have swag?
So many questions….I held my usually quick reacting sarcastic tongue and just stared in bewilderment.

Oh my gosh, I am rolling with laughter here!
(Should I confess that I wonder the same things, only I’m 34- ish?)
I’m in West Texas myself and often hear mysterious whale sounds. I think it must be a big conspiracy.
Love the total unrestrained curiosity through a child’s eyes.
These were the ones I could remember. They rattle questions off randomly like a machine gun. They are sometimes frustrating, but always entertaining!!
Did you ever get them a goat?
No, because then they would want a monkey…..and i really don’t want a monkey.
