Kids ask so many funny questions — especially at the age of 3

I think age 3 is one of the cutest ages ever. Sure, we cannot go into a store without a tantrum for a new toy, piece of candy, book or craft (yes, that was her you heard screaming at Target because I wouldn’t buy her another Frozen Toy). But the questions my daughter asks me make me belly laugh on a daily basis.

Side note: I actually didn’t know the answers to all of these funny questions, but when I did know the answers, I loved that her questions were a learning opportunity (for her and me both!) and the perfect chance to teach my daughter something new!

These are just a small sample of the funny questions my 3-year-old daughter has asked me! I love her curious mind and thirst for knowledge. I also must admit that I’ve had to Google a couple questions to find the answers so I could explain them to her, and I have been known to say “just because” on occasion. I literally never have any idea what is going to come out of  her mouth next, but I know it’s sure to make me smile!
