Thought for Food

Four-year-olds are like teenagers. Ask them what they did at school today, and they'll say, "I don't know."

"Well, who did you play with?"

"Nobody."

"Nobody played with you the whole day?"

"I don't know, Mom. Stop asking me these questions!"

Lucky for us, this four-year-old likes games. So we've made a game of going around the table, taking turns asking questions. Everyone who can talk gets to ask, and it can be any kind of question. It certainly makes for entertaining conversation. Here are a few from dinner last night:

What is one fun thing you'd like to do this summer?

Tell me some things that you like about turkeys, roosters, and peacocks.

What is one thing that you'd like to do but you're afraid to try?

If you could have either wings or a tail, which would you have, what kind, and why?

What would you like to do when you grow up (not be, but do)?

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would you live and why?

If you were camping, what would you like to do?

What kind of book would you like to read that you've never read before?

What is the silliest thing you could wear on a hat?

What is the saddest thing of all?

What is the happiest thing of all?

What is the silliest thing you could put on an live chicken?

If you could live in any other time period, when would you live and why?

If you were a superhero, what would your powers be?

If you could have any kind of animal in the world as a pet, what would you have and what would you call it?

What kind of cereal would you want in the whole entire world?

Tell me two things. If you were walking out to a pizza restaurant, would you wear socks and shoes that are fancy, or socks and shoes that are decorated with real pizza? What about if you were going to a party and you needed to dance?
