Curious Ame

Ame, on a quieter day.

She woke me up with a question:

"Mom, Why do the Ninja Turtles live in New York City and not Salt Lake City?"

The questions continued:

"Mom, What does thump mean?"
"Mom, Why doesn't Jackson's dad go to work?"
"Mom, Do green eggs taste the same as yellow-and-white eggs?"
"Mom, Have you ever been on a tiger hunt?"
"Mom, Why did the baby get shots in his legs?"
"Mom, Why do some kids have silver teeth?"

Even as I type, she is asking:

"Mom, What's the internet?"
"Mom, Does log rhyme with blog?"
"Mom, Why doesn't Grandma live in Tooele?"
"Mom, Why did Nina have two birthdays?"
"Mom, What stinks in the van?"

I've been awake for exactly 20 minutes. It's going to be another long day.

And the winner is...

...Anne Marie with her answers of: 1.) elephant, 2.) pig, and 3.) [three-toed] sloth. Anne Marie, you must have watched enough Go Diego Go! to know what Makai was thinking! I've got to hand it to you—I was absolutely clueless, even when he told me what it was. Your Halloween something will be in the mail this weekend...maybe I'll throw in some Utah fall leaves for you, since I can't imagine you see much of that in Florida.
