What Question Did Your Kid Ask That Was Hard To Answer?

The other day Steve was telling us a story of how Charlotte, his cute little 3 year old, walked in on him in the restroom and asked “what’s that?”. Wow … that would be an awkward conversation but I am sure many parents have had those before. The perfect time for us to find out was with this TQOTD:

TEXT QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What question did your kid ask that was hard to answer?

When my 5 year old wanted to know how he was made and how he got in my tummy to begin with. He was not satisfied with my fluff answers and kept asking “but HOW did I get in there? Who put me there?” Then proceeded to drill me about how he got out of my body. Umm Magic??.. I was not ready for that convo at 5

When our oldest son was 3 or 4 he walked in on my wife as she was getting dressed. She was putting on her bra when he asked her how come she has to strap those big things on. Need less to say she was flabbergasted and just started cracking up.
Where their dad was. He *disappears* a lot.
I do not have children, but I know enough people who do and I teach... The hardest question I'm asked by kids, my teen students, or anyone, is what happens when someone dies? Not really the act of death, but what comes after

My grandbabies just asked me the other day why they couldn't go see Uncle Bobby he passed away last month
When he was younger he would ask why he didn’t have a brother or sister, try explaining to a preschooler that you couldn’t have anymore babies. Very lucky that my treatments worked and I have him.

The toughest question my kids asked me at a younger age is “what’s a virgin”.

I was about 24 or so, I was picking up my cousins son and he was staying with us for the weekend, he was about 4 and his grandfather had just passed away.

When my daughter was almost 4 she asked so many questions that were hard to answer but my favorite was “why is water wet?”
Where do babies come from? She was in second grade and wouldn’t take “when a man loves a woman…” answer. Sooo I had to give her the answer. Afterwards she said “no wonder I’m an only child! You had to do that with daddy!” I followed up with you can’t tell ANYONE on the playground what you know!
How do I do my math homework?
I literally just had to Google my kid’s homework and STILL couldn’t figure out what the hell they wanted…
When my daughter was 10, she asked me why God made her so different from everyone else (she has cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, and a slew of others). It was a rough conversation to have while she was crying, trying to explain everyone is different in their own ways and we all are beautiful in our own uniqueness.
