Questions, Always the Questions

Here are a few of the questions my children have asked me over the last 24 hours (my answers are in parenthesis):

1. "Do I have to clean my room?" (Yes.)
2. "Is there really a Book of Secrets?" (Maybe.)
3. "Where's the jam?" (Fridge.)
4. "Why do I have to clean my room?" (Because.)
5. "Where's the toothpaste?" (Bathroom.)
6. "Why are North Dakota and South Dakota two states instead of one?" (Wikipedia.)
7. "Could I have somma that?" (Probably.)
8. "Are we going to the library?" (Might.)
9. "Are you finished with the computer?" (Never.)
10. "Will it take all day to get my room clean?" (Indubitably.)

They ask. I answer. That's how we roll.
