Luke: Momma, what’s that? That right here on my arm. Look.
Momma: Well, it looks like a little scar.
Luke: What’sa scar?
Momma: Um, looks like you had a mosquito bite a long time ago and maybe you scratched and scratched and then it turned into a scab. Once the scab went away it left a mark. The mark is a little bitty scar.
Luke: Do you have a scar?
Momma: Oh, I am sure. (Looking on my arm.) Look, here is a little scar on my arm, too.
Luke: Do all people have a scar?
Momma: I’m sure everyone has a little scar somewhere. You can get scars from things other than mosquito bites.
Luke: Do all little kids get scars?
Momma: I am sure they do.
Luke: Did you get a scar when you were a little girl?
Momma: Oh sure.
Luke: What do you do for a scar?
Momma: Nothing. Just let it be.

He is full of questions.
They are endless.
All.day.long.
Sometimes, we want to say… enough!
It does make us giggle.
It reminds us that every child wants to know that every grown-up has been a kid.
Just like them.
That is cute. It reminds me of Troy when he was smaller. Oh and by the way I like that shirt he is wearing. It looks familiar.
Hey Lynn! Thanks for reading!
How was Troy's first week of school. I forgot to ask him Friday night… it was a little hectic.
Cute shirt, hua?
The questions are always fun. The other night he found a small spider in Garrett's room. Mom, does evey house have spiders? Did you find spiders when you were a kid. What did you do with them…
