The Parental Guide to Answering Unanswerable Questions

And so, after a busy and tiring day, it was bedtime again in the Kan household. It was late and I was JUST. SO. READY. for the kids to quieten down and knock out (so I can sneak a wee bit of Me Time before I crash 😝). But right after turning off the lights, Ethan goes, "Mommy..."

🙄

Aiyoooo... This boy really has a knack of talking when he shouldn't. In fact, he talks the most during meal times and bedtimes. Tsk. Anyway, without waiting for me to respond, he cepat-cepat asked his question...

"If a person is fat, does that mean

they have more blood?" 🩸

😳

*blink blink*

Hmmm... Truth be told, I have no idea. LOL. Logically I suppose that makes sense? But I don't know for sure and I just couldn't be bothered to Google at the time because... well, late already la kan. So, I snuck him this reply instead:

"Ooo... Good question!

I can't wait for you to find out and tell me!"

😅😂

Satisfied that he had thought of a good question, he went to bed. Haha! Works every time. 😎 So, if your kid ever asks you questions you don't know the answers to, you know what to do. Happy parenting!
