This weekend we took our two young grandsons to The Wind in the Willows Exhibition and as we drove along the Thames to the Henley Rowing Museum, I pointed out that the story was set on the Thames about 10 miles away. The eldest asked if it was a true story and sadly I had to admit it wasn't.

A few hours later our GS still in a rather philosophical mood asked 'Is life real' ? That one threw me a bit. hmm

What questions do your GC ask you ?

"Did they have electricity when you were a girl, Mummy"?

My 6 yr old GD keeps asking if I was alive in the olden days. And she's obsessed with asking questions about dying.

My 5 year old granddaughter said, "When I'm grown up, who will be me?" Very profound.........and Granny had no answer to that!

My 8 yo GS asked me "is it hard being a grown up Nanna?"

Yep, got the message Gaggi smile! When my DG was about 3or 4 he was sitting on the loo one day when he said "grandma, what am I doing here?" "hopefully a poo" I replied - to which he said - "no, I mean what am I doing here in the world?" I seem to remember a very long conversation ensued.
Another time, his mother was trying hard to get him to school on time and as he stared out of the window he said - "just thinking what it would be like to be a conjoined twin". He's a very interesting teenager now!

We were minding our 2 year old DGS2 yesterday and when he said he was hungry I suggested he ask Grandad to make his tea, as I was very busy on Gransnet. He was astonished. *Is he old enough?" he asked. I do sometimes wonder myself... grin

Gaggie3 Congratulations! you have hit the Jackpot. I have seen quite a few of these multiposts while on GN but never that many.

You deserve a medal! wink

I don't think GNHQ have ever come up with an explanation for these.
They all have the same date and time..
