Pondering life… and water…
Questions…
On a daily basis, much of Jack’s conversation is filled with questions - but they are never general questions, they are always focussed and usually on his ‘current’ specific topic of interest.
Recently, water and how it exists and progresses it’s way through our world (in both it’s natural and man made environments) has been a favourite topic of his.
“How does water push out of the pipes Mum?”
“How does the water get to the pipes Mum?”
“What happens to the water that goes down the drain in the street Mum?”
“How do they fix the water Mum?”
“Where does the rain come from Mum?”
“Why does the rain come Mum?”
“Why does the water disappear off the ground Mum?”
“But why?”
“But how?”
“But why?”
After a few weeks of answering questions about drainage, filtration, and anything related to the clear liquid we rely on to survive, I really thought I had the water thing covered. I thought I had explained everything there was to know. Then today he asked:
“Why do we put water on the plants Mum?”
Of course, I’d forgotten the plants!
I think the water topic will be here for a while longer. I’ll just have to keep doing what I do, answering his questions as best I can, and wondering just how his mind works as he ‘ponders life’.

Hi Casdok,
Steve would like to think I am! Maybe it’s a good thing I’m not though, I don’t know that Jack would cope with the fame!!
