A Week's Worth of Questions

My kids.  My kids ask me questions constantly.  I know this is normal, but their questions are different because most of them A) Have absolutely no context, B) Are extremely, extremely strange and C) Don’t have real world answers. That last one is what really gets me.  How does one handle being inundated with questions to which there are no answers?  I decided to record a week’s worth of these questions because they make Joseph and I laugh until we cry, and because if any of you see me looking particularly frazzled, I want you to know why.  Without further ado:

The Questions

2. What would you do if Judah ate an entire bag of poppy seeds and pooped poppy seed paste?
