Why?

Ariel has been starting to ask so many questions. You know, the ones that I don't have the answers to. All the "Why?" questions but these are the hard "Why's". Every kind of bird we see she wants to know what kind of bird it is. Pff I don't know a stinkin thing about birds!
Where is the earth? How high is Heaven? How big is Heaven? Are Dinosaurs real? How come they aren't alive still? Why did God make bugs if we always step on them and kill them? How did God make Whales? Why did he make Killer Whales? How did God make the earth? Why did God make the earth? How did God make people? Why don't all people look the same? Why do people get old? When will Jesus get here??
My favorite random question from this week was "Why does Superman have laser vision?" "Umm, Well because that's just one of his super powers" "But why in the world would someone make fire come out of his eyes!!!"

So today my mom and I took the kids to Hastings (haven't been there in ages!) and we found some books to help mommy answer some questions! So mommy has some studying to do that way maybe I won't be so caught off guard when the next random 'WHY' Question comes flying at me! Ariel is so smart its ridiculous! I don't know if I can keep up with her!! She is starting to ask about months and years. So I need to sit down with a calender and attempt to explain all of that. And she doesn't quite understand that we live here and her cousins live in Denver City and we can just 'go over' to their house anytime. And she always asks me if random people we see are in Texas like us. LOL So I also need a globe/map to explain cities, states, countries, and continents. I have no idea if she is going to really understand any of it but I have to start giving some answers some time. And if she does understand, which would not surprise me in the least considering how fast she has caught onto everything else, Holy Cow she is going to be so far ahead when she starts Kindergarten.

Besides the Superman quote of this week; my other favorite was while we were watching 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer'. A while after Grandma got run over, there was a scene that showed all the reindeer flying and pulling the sled. All of the sudden she got real serious and said "I GUARANTEE it was the two middle ones that did it!!" LOL
