It was reported in the papers this morning that long suffering parents face an average of eight questions from their children a month that they struggle to answer. A poll of 2000 Mams & Dads found out that 'What does God look like?', 'How did the world begin?' and 'What are black holes?' are the most difficult questions they've been asked. However, the listeners of The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show had other ideas and sent us in some humdingers from their own children...
- Hi Ian, when I told my 4 year old that his auntie was buying a house, he said 'How can she? Houses are too big to fit in a shop'.
- My 6 year old asked 'Why do we pull the heads off chickens and eat them?' I had no clue what to say.
- My son Jack, at the age of 2 years and 11 months, asked me why the letter W began with the letter D! Expecting great things from this genius!
- Hi Ian, my 7 yr old Hugo asked me other day "Mammy, why did you say the smoke alarm had gone off when it actually went on... " clever little boy ... from Niamh'
- It was my birthday and my four-year-old asked me 'Have you many birthdays left?'
- On Sunday in Croke Park, my son kept asking me 'Daddy, why is the referee not blowing when the players are fouling and they give a free when U12. Are the rules different for All Ireland final?
- In the car last week, my 9 year old Matthew asked myself and my husband, how did Adam and Eve communicate?! We said 'Instagram'. He comes out with some great ones!
- Daddy, why do you and Grandad have no hair?1 From Ciaran
- My 5 year old daughter regularly asks how babies get into your tummy. My answer is always: The doctor in hospital puts it in through your belly button.
- Good morning Ian. My little boy Ruairi (8) asked me if everyone in the world is related to each other? Because, if God made Adam & Eve, then they all of their children and their children's children means everyone is related. Right or wrong?
