10 Dumb Questions My Kids Ask Me On A Regular Basis

Luckily, I don’t have to deal with such challenges, as my children seem to be developing smack dab in the middle of the bell curve when it comes to brains. They’re whip-smart in some areas, totally clueless in others. All in all, they seem like perfectly typical kids, and I’m grateful for it. That said, my funny, adorable, and quick-witted children can be BREATHTAKINGLY stupid about certain things. For instance, the following 10 conversations, which happen every single week in our house.

1. I drag the vacuum out of the hall closet, laboriously untangle the cord, pull it out to the living room, and plug it in. Children: “Are you vacuuming?”  2. The kitchen counters are covered with various food items. A pan sizzles. I’m walking between the refrigerator and the stove, stopping to chop things or clean off surfaces. No plates have been filled. Children: “Is dinner ready yet?”
2. It’s a typical weekday, and we’re going through our familiar routines of eating cereal and readying backpacks. Children: “Do we have school today?”
3. I tell a child to get his sports shirt on, get on his cleats, and find his water bottle. Child: “Do I have practice tonight?”
4. After a week of repeatedly discussing our weekend travel plans, it’s Saturday morning and I tell the kids to get their suitcases ready. Children: “Where are we going?”
5. Water pounds on the roof and cascades from the gutters. The streets are pockmarked and filling with puddles. Also, we live in Oregon. Children: “Is it raining?”
6. “Get your pajamas on, guys! Brush your teeth and go to the bathroom! Pick out the book you want!” Children: “Is it bedtime?”
7. I’m mid-pour with two glasses of milk. Children: “Can we have milk?”
8. I pull out the Trident package, pop a piece in my mouth, and blow a fruit-scented bubble. Children: “Are you chewing gum?”
9. “After this cartoon finishes, you guys are done with TV, okay? This is the last one. Okay? Guys? Can I get an acknowledgement over here?” children nodtime passescartoon finishes Children: “Can we watch one more??” Do your kids ask inane questions like these? Image via Linda Sharps
