I've been dreading the day Sam becomes interested in something I know nothing about. Up until now I've been able to answer questions about letters, colors, shapes, and numbers like a pro.
The other day we were playing with Sam's cars. He held up a truck and said, "Wheels! Mama, Mama, see? Wheels."
"Yes," I agreed. "The truck has wheels."
"And truck wheels go roun' and roun' and roun'," Sam added.
"Yep," I agreed again.
Sam thought for a minute, and then asked, "How?"
Oh man. I honestly don't know. I mumbled something about the big engines making the wheels go around and changed the subject.
I'm going to have to start studying to stay ahead of this kid!

The dreaded "How?" question. He's really going to keep you on your toes. I know he's seen the engine under your car hood but maybe Uncle Mike could show him a huge truck engine.
Yeah, Jacob likes to remind me that he knows more about cars/trains/airplanes/engines... than me. :)
When my kids at school ask me how something works, or "why is that" I turn it around and ask them - what do you think? If that doesn't take the heat off I just admit defeat and suggest they ask someone else!!
