A Questions Requires an Answer - Right?

Emry is at the age when conversations go something like this:

Me: “Where are we going?”

Emry: “Where going?”

Me: “What color is that?”

Emry: “Color that?”

Me: “Do you want to help Mama?”

Emry: “Help Mama?”

As you can see, she doesn’t yet understand that a question requires an answer – not another question.

And yet sometimes she surprises me in the most hilarious ways. Last week I was telling her, “Tomorrow we get to go the library. You can play with the train, and we can get Biscuit books!”

She loves the library. She loves Biscuit books even more. And the train set is quite fun, too. A few moments after this conversation, she was doing something very silly and I jokingly asked her, “Where did we get you?”

She looks at me thoughtfully and then responds, “The library?”
