Never a boring life!

G: I want a dog and a pool.  If I had to pick one thing I would pick a pool!
A couple of hours later: "Buy a pool or buy a house with a pool!  It's YOUR choice!"


Annika: Mama doesn't know how to do anything.  Daddy knows how to do everything.  The only thing mama knows how to do is to talk to friends in Russian.

Annika also likes to ask deep questions:
"So, a rock came down and broke all the dinosaurs....  Can a rock come down and break all the people?"
She is learning to ask questions like that from G.  He asks some hard questions.
Like: "What is at the end of space?  Why can't we just go there and look?"
He also wants to understand how it is possible that people didn't always exsit.  He asks: "Where were people when the dinosaurs lived on Earth? Did they just have their eyes closed and saw black?"

I think it is a hard concept to understand.  I talked to him about our earliest ancestors, tiny mammals that lived alongside dinosaurs, but he is just way too young to understand it all.  I mean, I can hardly understand it myself.

The topics that both kids are very interested in right now are: spiders, ants, metamorphosis, storms/weather (especially tornadoes) and dinosaurs.
