Daft questions from the neighbour kids

Maybe I don’t understand children yet.

I mean, I’m quickly learning to understand a toddler – well, at least as well as anyone can understand a toddler.

But the neighbour kids, who mostly range between ages six and 11? I don’t get them. At all.

They all seem to ask some really daft (and occasionally terrifying) questions.

When they ask me these things, I always try to answer them in a friendly way. I mean, they are children and I want to encourage their inquisitive natures… but some of the things they ask just seem to lack the common sense of even a three-year-old.

But, like I said, maybe I just don’t understand children of this age yet. Maybe this is standard – it’s what I have to look forward to from my own child once she’s talking…

Here are some of the things they’ve asked us recently:

• I left the house one morning, shortly after washing my hair but not drying it. Seven-year-old asks me: “Why is your hair wet?”
• Front door is open to let in cool air and we use a ceramic cat as a door stopper. A six-year-old asks: “Did you know this is not a real kitten?”
  

  I guess I’ve been wasting my money on cat food and kitty litter then…

• Pumpkin is outside playing and a six-year-old asks me: “Did you know that babies poop in their nappies?”
• Pumpkin is asleep in her pram. Several girls run up to see her and I tell them to be quiet so they don’t wake her: “Why, will she cry?”
  

  She probably won’t cry, but I might…

• This has happened several times: they look through our living room window (no manners!) and then ask: “Why do you have so many books?” (This isn’t so much a ‘daft’ question, but simply one that makes me and Daddy-man a bit sad).
• Six-year-old girl: “Look! My plaster fell off. Does the baby want to play with it?” Me (trying to not vomit): “No!” Girl: “Why?”
• Pumpkin is out playing on the walkway that overlooks the communal terrace one level down. One little girl (about nine years old) asks: “What would happen if you dropped the baby over the railing?” I give her a terrified look and stammer out something about how it would be very dangerous. She follows up with: “Would she cry?” I run inside with Pumpkin and have nightmares for a week.
  

  Eeeek!

Please, tell me what you think of these questions – are they normal for kids of this age or should we start looking to move to a better school catchment area now?
