Life with a preschool-age child is like a constant game of 21 questions. Did you know the average four-year-old asks 400 questions a day? As a mom of an almost four-year-old, this is my current reality. Don’t get me wrong; I love that my son is curious about everything. His questions give us tons to talk about. But if I’m honest, all the questions can be overwhelming at times, or his questions require more complicated answers that his brain is not yet fully able to comprehend.
The question game typically ramps up during car rides. One question spirals into ten more, usually until we reach our destination or he falls asleep. One day, as we were making our 40-minute trek to see grandparents, I switched things up and asked my son 21 questions. I asked him some questions several times, only to find his answers more silly than the last one. Our game of 21 questions made our car ride pretty entertaining that day. Check out the questions and his answers below.
