My seven year-old younger son will spontaneously ask very random questions that you can tell he has been thinking about for a while. Posting to Nostr so I can remember them later on.
Tonight at bedtime, he asked, “Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Christians? If they aren’t, how will they be able to get married without a priest?”
Tonight at bedtime, my little man asks, “Daddy, how many people are supposed to sleep in my twin bed?”
Me: “Just you, bud.”
Son: “Then why is it called a twin bed if twins are two people?”
Me: “I have no idea. I’ve never thought about that. That’s a great question.”
Tonight, the 7-year old son says, “We should invent a game, probably on old school GameBoy so that it could be cheap, that we could give to homeless people. In the game, you would be a homeless person and to win the game you would have to do the right things.”
Me: “So in the game, the character is a homeless person? What kind things would they have to do?”
7-year old: “Like, the game would give them choices to make. And to advance to the next level, you have to make the right choice. Like, should I get a haircut and shave my nasty beard or not. This way, they can learn what they should do in real life.”
Me: [Nodding my head] That is a really good idea, bud. That would probably be more helpful than many other things currently being tried.
