Here's Betsy of Fluffy Windover's Diary with this week's Toddler Thursday:  

Lately Edwin has become very inquisitive. He constantly peppers us with questions, and they have gone from pretty simple (What’s that?) to pretty challenging (see below)!

“Mommy, what do otters eat?”
This one really took me off guard. What the heck do otters eat? I have no idea. I think I said that they eat things in the forest, like bugs and plants and… otter food.

”What are birds made out of?”
There is just something morbid about describing the insides of a bird, so I think I just said, “feathers”.

“Where’s your grandma?”
This was a tough one, as she is no longer living. I’m really not ready to explain death to my two-year old, so I simply said she’s not here with us anymore. Thankfully, he was quickly distracted by a shiny object.

“Where is Mother’s Day?”
Edwin has trouble with the concept of holidays, days of the week, and states of being. He thinks everything is a place where you can go. The other day I told him we were dining “al fresco” and he asked where the restaurant al fresco was.

“Does baby brother have shoes on? Does baby brother have a blanket in there (points to my tummy)?”
Edwin seems concerned that the baby in my tummy is comfortable and properly entertained. The other day he asked if he had a book in there!

“Is Elmo wearin’ underwear right now?”
This was a stumper, because Elmo dolls are not clothed. But he likes to watch the Elmo’s Potty Time DVD, and I’ve told him that Elmo is a big boy who uses the potty and wears underwear. (Am I going to have to fashion a pair of underwear for his Elmo doll?) 

If you want to share some funny questions your toddlers have asked, please do so in the comments!
