The morning of 1000 questions

November 9th, 2007

While riding to music this morning (which was way too long of a ride), I was bombarded with 1000 unanswerable questions.  Of course, we were at Starbucks yesterday and it was all done up for Christmas.  I guess that got a tiny 4-year-old brain going.  Or, not so tiny.

What was Santa’s name before he became Santa Claus?  How does the Easter Bunny get into the house?  What if we made a warren in our front tree - would the Easter Bunny come and live with us?  If the Easter Bunny is, in fact, a bunny, how does he read the list we make for him?  Why don’t we make a list for the Easter Bunny?  Since he’s a bunny, how does he know to get out of the house?  How does he carry all the baskets?  Does he have extra arms?  Why does Santa wear a hat?  Why the big puffy boots?  Does he take his boots and hat off when he goes inside at his own house?  Does Santa sleep all year?  How do the reindeer fly?  Well, they can’t all be magic, so if they are not magic, how do they fly?  Not everything is magic, Mum!!!   How old was Kris Kringle when he knew he was magic?  When did he decide to become Santa Claus?  What did he have to do to be Santa?  What do the reindeer do all year?  I could go on……this was for the entire 35 minute ride.  ~sigh~

 It’s one thing if the questions are answerable, but another when I have no clue!

 It’s Vetran’s Day on Sunday.  I don’t think we’ll attend any festivities - the kids are too young to understand, but we’ll be wearing our poppies as we have been all month!

Enjoying the journey,  Amanda
