Questions you just can't answer
Sometimes kids ask questions you can't answer, or you don't want to.
I got this question from my six year old, Lily, this week:
"Mommy, how do you stick a knife in a bad guy?''
I just didn't know where to start, to respond to that.
"Do you just stick and stick and stick until it goes in?'' she asked. "Because knives aren't that sharp.''
Ahh, now we're getting somewhere. Our knives in the kitchen are so dull, they probably would not be effective against a bad guy. I agree.
"It's not nice to kill someone who isn't a bad guy,'' she added.
Not nice. So true.
Sometimes you're just not in the mood to give a Big Speech. Ya know?
