Questions

When you are blessed with young children in your life, there is an unending blabbering of questions. Some are very important and you take your time to answer with clarity after seeking wisdom from God. Some require quick little answers you throw out because you know the question was just fulfilling the need to hear themselves speak. Most of the questions are serious need-to-know moments for the kids but cause the grownups to nearly double over in laughter.
I thought you might like an insight into the kind of questions I have been facing lately. Imagine these words coming in child like tones, from sweet little faces, two of which have speech patterns that rarely pronounce "r" or "l" sounds...
