New hair

Yup, I cut Trixie's hair today, but that didn't change her one bit.  She is still so "makulit" and ever so curious.  Here are some of her most recent questions...

Yesterday afternoon, Trixie asked me this about our maid, "Mama, why is Juvilyn brown?"  "Why she have pimples?"

We don't have cable at home (we decided not to get cable to control tv time), so Trixie looks forward to going to our uncle's house every Monday night so she can watch Playhouse Disney.  She kinda figured it out already, so she asked me, "Mama, why we don't have 'Animal Mechanicals' at home?"  I answered, "We don't have cable at home eh."  Her next question, "What is cable?" 

Brandon was bitten by a mosquito yesterday.  On our way home, she asked me, "Mama, why did God make mosquitoes?" Still about God, "Mama, what is God's number?  I want to call him, eh."

She asked me this after dinner, "Mama, why do giraffes eat grass?"

It really gets harder!

Here is another round of mind-boggling questions from Trixie that she asked me just these TWO days...

Yesterday, out of the blue, Trixie asked me these questions about God.  "Who made God?"  "Will Jesus die?"  "Did Jesus make God?" 

While watching Little Einsteins, she asked me, "What is outer space?"

Over dinner, Brandon received a fax call.  Thus began her questions... "Mama, what is a fax?"  "What does it look like?"  "What is it saying?"  It took almost the entire dinner for me to exhaustively answer her questions on how the fax message gets through the phone!

Trixie's Tougher Questions (Part 2)

This is Trixie's photo taken at school by a hired photographer.  She looks so "makulit" in this photo that I just had to put this here to compliment this blog entry.

And the questions never end!

While in the car, Trixie asked me, "Why is your mama old?" (referring to her Guama)
My answer:  "My mom is old because Mama is an adult already."
(We had a previous discussion on the definition of "adult".)
Her follow-up question:  "Why I'm not old yet?"

While in the shower, Trixie asked me, "Mama, why are you big and Papa is not so big?"
My answer:  "Why do you think that is so?"
Her answer:  "Maybe because you eat a lot and Papa not eat a lot.  Just like me, I don't eat a lot that's why I'm not tall!"

While walking out one afternoon, Trixie looked up at the sky then asked Brandon, "Papa, why is the moon out and it's not night time 'aman?"

While Syoti Brenzie's asleep on the bed, Trix pointed at him and asked, "Is that Jesus?"
She continued, "Diba Jesus is a baby that was born?"  I can't help but laugh out loud!  Of course she asked, "Mama, why you laugh?"

I recently had a cut in my hand and Trixie prayed for it.  Later that day, the wound still hurt and she saw it.  She then asked, "Mama, why is your sugat not well yet?  Diba I pray for it na?" 

We went to a Jollibee kiddie party yesterday and when we got home she asked, "Mama, where Jollibee come from? (referring to the mascot)  Why is he not talking?"

While playing with Syoti, Trixie asked, "Mama, why Syoti come out na?" 
"Why Syoti not grow yet?  Why he not talk yet?"

And I pray for wisdom so that Brandon and I will be able to answer ALL the other questions in the future!

Trixie's Questions (Part 1)

Over breakfast this morning, Trixie asked me, "Mama, do you know the muffin man?"

On the way to school while looking out the window, she asked, "Mama, why the trees have the same color?"

When it's raining, she often asks, "Mama, why is it raining?"

While playing with her baby brother, Trixie asked me, "Mama, why syoti come out of your tummy na?"  And another, "Why is syoti a boy?"

While watching Veggie Tales she asked me, "Mama, where are their hands?"  Looking at the tv I answered, "They don't have hands eh."  She asked again,  "Why they don't have hands?"

Just out of the blue, she asked, "Mama, why I only have one nose?"

Trixie asked, "Why babies need to dede only, not eat?"  So I answered, "Babies don't have teeth yet."  Still another question, " Why babies don't have teeth yet?"

Trixie was breastfed until she was two.  So seeing other babies she asked, "Mama, why the baby drink from the bottle and not from the dede?"

While taking a shower together, Trixie asked me, "Why is your belly button brown?"

Looking up at the shower she continued to ask, "Why is the water falling down?"

After taking a bath, Trixie asked me, "Mama, why I don't have school today?"  I answered, "Because it's the weekend."  Another question, "Why no school in the weekend?"

While eating at the restaurant, she asked out of the blue, "Mama, why it's not Christmas anymore?"
