[inspired by today’s napowrimo prompt. These are all questions I’ve been asked by my girls recently]

So many lovely questions! And I can only imagine how wonderful AND tiring it must be… Great take on the prompt, in my humble opinion!

thank you, they are wonderful and tiring in equal measure but they make life a lot more interesting!

I have an 8 year old and a 3 year old. You are too kind! This photo was taken on my wedding day so I put it down to a great cover up job!!! Teehee.

ha ha! I guess you had your babies young then. I think it’s great to be young enough to really enjoy them. I was 27 when my babies were born but I think it’s just about young enough, I certainly think it would be hard to keep up if I was much older (but then I’m quite creaky for someone my age!)

Yep – 23 and 28 when I had them. I agree – being younger has helped, although I think they’ve actually aged me somewhat. Heehee, the joys of motherhood!

I know what you mean, we had our girls within a year of being married – on our fifth anniversary when we looked back at our wedding pics we realised we’d aged at LEAST ten years. They are worth every wrinkle though – and just think of all the adventures we’ll still be young enough to have with our grown up children one day!

I hope you answered them all especially the question about the “V” word. What on earth did you say?

I vowed I would never avoid my kids’ questions no matter how awkward but the vulva one is a simple pointing exercise so that’s one of the easier ones. I tried so hard to get my kids to use the correct terms for body parts but they’ve adopted minimo in favour of vulva or vagina sadly! (In fact, I wrote a poem about it… of course! https://pookypoetry.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/minimo/ )

I’ll be on crutches for a while but I’m more or less able go from sitting to standing without wanting to yelp now!

YES – this is sooooo true. My nemesis is – do not mean to be to honest, but going to the loo (you call it that right?) Sitting and standing is terrible – a booster seat would make it not so bad:)

ha ha! yes, going to the loo was terrible and I suddenly understood why old people had those funny bucket seats which I had totally not appreciated before!

Great poem. Always enjoy a humorous twist at the end. (I recognised the prompt immediately as I had a go at it last night but wasn’t happy with my result)

I’m going to go and raid your blog now. Why were you unhappy with yours?

I have an unpublished attempt at the question poem. I set myself a framework and filled it in, but It is far too rough and uneven. No flow, there wasn’t much inspiration. Need to be inspired in some way before writing another.
