Welcome to a new feature on this little ol' blog of mine. You see, I'm in need of some help. Our oldest is a thinker. His mind is running all the time. He asks questions all day every day. Most of the time I can provide an answer (and a reminder that I've already answered that question three times today). But then there are questions that I can't answer. I can't even guess what kind of information he's looking for.
I know how this happens. He thinks about things silently and when his thought gets stuck, he then asks me. The problem is that there isn't any context, like hearing only the punch line of a joke and not the joke itself. I've tried to pry for more information but he gets frustrated by my inability to read his mind. I want to help because often the questions seem meaningful. So, I'm turning to you for help. Feel free to answer in the comments. We could stumble across the meaning of life here folks.
Today's Question: "Is it for all of it or just a couple?"
Fire away but don't ask me to clarify or provide more information. I asked for it but Seth said, "Mommy, that's it, that's all I want to know." Anybody? Anybody?

Here's where I'd take a page from the politician handbook and 'answer' your question with another question... "It depends, how many do you think it is for?"

Its for as many as you have enough for?

This one is a throw back to recent halloween experience. I'd tell him that we trick or treat for just a couple of pieces of candy from what they offer not all of it. We have to leave some for the other girls and boys.
