A million questions to match a million answers
My kids never seem to run out of questions. Rather than document their endless queries, I decided to write down some of the answers I have given this week instead. Enjoy:

Oh my gosh. I can totally relate. That was a great post. One of these days I'll have to pay attention and write down ours too. They'll love reading that someday.
Don't you just totally love the constant questions, nagging, and on-going conversations we have with our children through the bathroom door?
These are the kinds of things I wish I'd written down and saved. I'm just glad you have all the answers!
I found your blog on Bob and Dianes site (they were in my ward in California) and I love it! I even linked you on mine . . . hope you don't mind. I have two young kids, and I can relate to a lot of stuff you write about. . . especially this post. My son is only 3 and talks constantly!!! Ahhh! Sometimes I feel like hiding in my closet! I like how you find the humor in things.
Oh, I love it. Poor Chase, GWB hasn't written back yet?!
i found your blog through bridget's and i've been lurking for way too long! i love your wit and creativity. wish i could be. i thoroughly enjoy your blog! thanks!
No M&Ms with breakfast? COME ON!!!
mommy dont say that about us!!!
Oh the questions! With 3 children! Sometimes I just want to bang my head on the wall or the dashboard or whatever just with one rapid-fire-repetitive questioner.
Your answers were so funny and cover such a range from WWII, GWB, candy to monsters. Oh my!
Why didn't you have to say "no, I don't know why your mother is such a loser"...
I am cracking up at these! We have lost of constant questions in our house, too. One of my all time favorites was (asked in all sincerity), "Does Jesus like Hello Kitty?"
You managed to come up with so many fabulous answers, I'm impressed. Usually after 10 or so questions, I turn into a loon.
I can't stop laughing. So funny Stie. My favorite is the weapons at the table. I swear I'm always telling my kids, NO, you can't hide in the dryer; Will, climb out of the oven; please don't run with knives . . .
That sounds familier! I think I'll be laughing for a long time. Thanks for visiting my blog. btw, did you name your from Sound of Music? That is my most fav. movie ever and I named my blog from it.
I stumbled across your blog today and I really like it...
nice to meet you, I am Tiffanie. I think we live not too far apart, as I live in Kansas.
