I confess that I was really talkative child and all time I used to make questions, and by one question's answer I used to make another question, I remember my mother's face while of doing housework, how difficult was handling a child like me!
one of those question was: Mom, when an ant fell dawn from height, is not diying. why?
she said: because ant is too small. and I used to say but we are also small in comparison of a mountain but if we fell from mountain we die!
she said ant is so light, doesnot have weight.. I said then if I stay near a very big man, I am light too. then?
hmm.... do you remember any of those questions of your childhood?
or question that your kid makes and sounds good for you?
Thanks.

I do think that a child who asks so many why's are very intelligent kids. There are just a lot of questions that my kids, most especially my eldest and youngest, would ask when they were 4-5 years old.I am always amazed at the questions they would ask coz some kids their age would care less. I couldn't exactly remember those questions, but what I do remember is I have given up sometimes in answering, coz it is hard to explain things that they would understand.

so I was an intelligent child as I was making lots of question and I was the one in my class to make lots of question , I was making my teacher confuse and have doubt on her knowledge like once someone asked if deer is a male or female? my teacher said it is both, deer has male and female .. and I said No, you are wrong... deer is a male, you do not see those horror thing on his head? and gazelle is female, as that is too beautiful. deer propose to gazelle, and when they marry, they have two options, if their baby is male, will look like his father and will be deer, with those on top of his head to fight, and if will be girl will look like her mother beautiful and her name will be gazelle.....
my poor teacher get confused and said to others well I will ask to principle and inform you all. later she came and said yes, I was wrong and extremefun4fun was right.... I made all school confuse and discuss on that...

Well, I don't remember any question or conversation in particular. But I'm sure we all were difficult to handle as kids. Since in childhood the learning system is at it's peak and we just need to know everything. Its like an ever unquenchable thirst. I think some of the common questions that disturbed me were, the number of stars, why February has 28 days, etc.

I think it is better for a child if a child asks too many questions even if its difficult to answer by a parent. It means a child is curious and wants to know a lot of things. When I was a child, though I have questions on my mind, I never asked a question to my mom or to my dad. I do not know why. I think its kind of a taboo because they are our parents. That was during my time.
When I grew up, those questions were answered by my own. I just search on internet and sometimes I asked people that are in the online world and that is it.

Well my grandfather was too protective for me so i was a spoiled child and i used to cry a lot.Whenever i meet people who know me since childhood they always mention that how much i used to cry.I used to waste lot of energy in crying hence my questions were mainly related to food, like why is Apple sweet and Oranges are sour,or if White cow gives while Milk why the milk of Buffalo is not black,best wishes.

I was just like 
and I stop crying and says what is wrong with you grandpa?

I can't remember if I had questions but for sure I had them. But I was a child at the time that partly we know everything (my parents did discuss a lot together also in our presents and also about medical issues/treatments etc) but if I asked them straight away I frequently got the answer: I will tell you if you are older.
My parents were just not interested in their children.
My children do have a lot of questions as well, with each question there is an other question. I answer them or tell them to write the questions down so we will look together for the answer. Since everything you look for yourself you will remember. They ask questions about everything they see or notice or think about: why there is white on the sea, why a piece of bread with butter Always falls with the butter side on the ground, why the dyson vacuum cleaner has no small tube so you can vacuum inbetween the carseat and the door, etc.

well, yes, you have said before that you even do not like to wish for being a kid again as you do not have good memories of those time. I am sorry for that, I also suffered in my childhood but after all that I still wish for those times, even if my father sometimes was angry, now that I have lost him I wish he was there to get angry on us but not to die and leave us alone...
