Dear Children,
As a caregiver, I find myself continuously addressing your myriad questions throughout the day. Your inquiries vary from the straightforward—like how I can love each of you equally—to the complex, such as what happens after life. Then, there are the more challenging topics, such as how you came to be in my tummy. I often feel as though answering your questions is my primary responsibility. However, today I have some questions of my own that I believe warrant exploration.
Questions for You
Why is it that you can construct elaborate towers with such skill, yet struggle to aim accurately when using the toilet?
Every night, bedtime becomes a battleground. Is it truly so dreadful to lie down in a comfortable bed and drift off to sleep?
When traversing the stairs, why must you leave a trail of fingerprints on the walls? Remember, there’s a banister designed for your assistance.
You often desire toys belonging to your friends, yet when I purchase a similar item for you, your interest seems to vanish. Why does this happen?
Understandably, young ones will have moments where they need to clean their noses. However, why do you feel compelled to wipe the results on the walls? If tissues are unavailable, your sleeves can serve as a temporary alternative, just as they do for me.
Curiously, you always seem to experience an intense thirst the moment I finally pour myself a drink and sit down.
When it comes to toenail trimming, why do you react as if it’s a form of torture? This simple act is akin to a pedicure, after all.
It seems impossible for you to agree on a movie that all of you enjoy at the same time. Why is this?
Brushing your teeth before school often leads to protests. Do you truly not care about that unpleasant morning breath?
You relish ketchup but turn your nose up at tomato sauce. What is the reasoning behind this contradiction?
When your siblings taunt you, why can’t you simply ignore them? Trust me, if you do, they will soon tire of it.
Wrestling on the couch often leads to tears and chaos. Do you not remember this pattern? Is there a thrill in the inevitable discomfort?
Volume control appears to be a challenging concept for you. I assure you, I can hear you!
In our reading time, why do you gravitate towards the most exasperating books? Titles like those about Transformers and Cars make me long to skip pages or close my eyes.
When you encounter puddles, why must you leap into each one as if it’s a rite of passage?
Why do you repeat my name multiple times before finally posing a question?
You seem to have endless energy for running laps around the house, yet when asked to help clean up, you become utterly immobilized.
So, dear children, I ask you—why?
