Questions I Was Asked Today

In no particular order, here are ten of the questions I was asked today...these being the questions asked when I was near enough my notebook to write them down.

• How many dwarf planets are there?
• What is for breakfast?
• Do you know where the four-square ball is?
• Can we watch Phineas and Ferb?
• Did you really get married?
• Can we do chalk art on the driveway? (repeat: seven times. or so.)
• Do you know who my favorite quarterback is?
• How long does it take a probe to reach Mars from Earth?
• Do you want to see my sleeping impressions? 
• What would happen if all of the earth's inhabitants turned into heavyweight boxing champions?

(I did a better job of answering some of these than others.)

And when they are not asking questions, they are doing this:

We've been here six weeks today. Happy fall!
