3 Questions from Marsya that forced me to think how to explain to her

Published by cyza under Blogging ~ Sharring

How should I answer this when my 6 year old daughter, Marsya asked:

1. Daddy, what is “B…h…d”? She asked me this question while following me to our homestay to send a receipt to our guess yesterday evening. She saw several shop houses having the character “BHD” and want to clear her curiosity…

2. Daddy… why the road is black? She asked me this on our way back home from the homestay…

3. Daddy… how this book cover is made? She asked me this last week. My wife cannot answer it and asked me to answer the question.

In all there occasions, I tried my very best to answer her according to her level of understanding. Is this normal? Why Ikhwan, my son, never or as I can remember, have not at all ask challenging questions…? Why is Marsya asking that type of question…?

I’m looking forward to get pop quiz questions from either of my kids… I hope Ikhwan, Marsya and Alya will bombard me with creative questions :) .

What about you guys? Any interesting question mesmerizing from your kids or your siblings? or from anybody… I look forward to read them… and then giggle… :)
