MeiLin is inquisitive, verbal and intelligent. Other parents sometimes are not prepared for the level of interrogation we have slowly accepted as normal from her. The latest:
"Ms. Kim, Adam in our class is really bad. He said the A-word and the F-word and was suspended. I think it is because he watched too many violent movies when he was 3 and 4. This show [old Superman cartoon] is violent, but not too violent. It could be more violent. Is fart a bad word? I don't think it is a really bad word, just kind of bad."
"Mom, this girl in class is getting on my last nerves. She is said I had to be homecoming queen or she would break up the spy club."
to a friend's teenage cousin who has cerebral palsy and could not go swimming with us: "So how do you go to the bathroom? Do you go by yourself?" She did ask politely and is curious and later my friend said it gave the boy a chance to learn how to answer such questions in a non-threatening environment (a 7-year old).

Remember this when we are older.
I have heard that when we get older we become child like with regard to what we say.
Research indicates it is actually a change in the brain's physical structure that is to blame, not your parents.
at least it isn't boring... :)
I suggest Life Cycle books - they have answers for just about everything.
