The questions are far outpacing the answers

We were away camping for the weekend, and I realized that the questions will outnumber the answers.  I think that is the case all the time.  Answers beget more questions in life.

Some questions from the weekend:

• Why was President Lincoln called “honest abe”?
• Why is Killens Pond called that?
• How do eyeglasses work?
• There was a lot of serious thought about campfires and color and ignition – we will need to explore fire?

Some questions from the garden:

• Why do some weeds have stickers on them?
• What do the different smells of weeds / flowers mean or why are they different?
• and  – what are we going to do with all that zucchini!

J & I are going to need to pick our favorite questions to answer.  Hope to be back shortly with some answers.

Fun Q & A goes live!

Our Blog mascot -Yoda

J & I are excited to be off on our adventure of curiosity.  J is always asking questions and I do not always have the answers – so we have decided to seek the answers together and blog about the experience here.  We hope to learn a bunch and have a ton of Fun!

Our current top 3 questions for which we will be seeking answers are:

1. How come dogs cannot eat chocolate, what is it that makes them sick?
2. How many planets are in our solar system? (with planet x being known and Pluto being decommissioned as a planet I wasn’t quite sure of the precise answer)
3. What are the YMCA swimming ranks and what do you have to do to earn them?  He’s really interested in Shark rank.
4. one more what’s the longest word in the English language and what does it mean?

These are his questions of the past week that I could not answer…so off to do some research and we will report back on the answers and the process.
