Having a curious 4yo is the most intellectually humbling experience I’ve ever had

@Jackiemauro Yes!

It’s amazing how quickly you go from “let me explain this to you” to “the world is full of injustice, and once you’re old enough, we’ll go set stuff on fire together”

@slothrop totally. I heard him mumbling to himself the other day “not all cops are good” and I was like “ok I’m not screwing this up completely.”

@Jackiemauro

- Why is the sky blue?
- Let’s watch a YouTube video about that!

@Nickiquote I always feel like I kind of know? But then he wants more information and I realize my knowledge about apparently everything is incredibly shallow.

@Jackiemauro

I have a soon-4-yo granddaughter, and playing with her is the best. As long as I accept and follow anything she says with an enthusiastic ”yes, and…” my input is instantly also a valid part of our shared imaginary world.

I never know in what direction or how deep our rabbit hole goes, but it is always delightful ❤️

@edwiebe cause he asks great questions and I always think I know the answers but it turns out I have horribly surface level knowledge only. So he’s never satisfied and I’m just constantly doing remedial research after he falls asleep haha.
