How???

Momma, how do you spell ocean? Momma, how much further? Momma, how old are you? Momma, how do babies get born? Momma, how old is dirt? Momma, how much longer ’til we get der? Momma, how do you spell dirt? Momma, how old is Ollie? Momma, how come Christian doesn’t like it when I copy him? Momma, how old will I be when Christian is 13? Momma, how do you spell thirteen? Momma, how come spiders bite? Momma, how do you spell spider?When Joey was little, it was always why this, and why that, but with Jackson, it’s how. He is full of questions, mostly about how to spell things. We really are glad that he is so inquisitive, but I have to admit, the 5th time I told him tonight how to spell Jesus when he asked, I felt myself getting a bit annoyed. I immediately felt guilty. My little guy wants to know something, whether it be how to read, or how babies are made, and if he shows interest, we should take the time to answer. So, while we may not be running through any detailed explanations of the birds and the bees I will continue to spell Jesus seven times a day. I’ll do my best to explain why things happen and I’ll try not to cringe when I tell him how old I am, yet again, or how to spell it. After all, it took this kid forever to talk, HOW could we possibly want to shut him up?
