Ah Yeah!

Chatty McGee (aka Colby) starts his day with a litany of questions. From the minute he wakes up, through breakfast, getting dressed and while he's walking out the door he's got loads of questions. Today the inquisition was all about the Army, war and generals.


"What's the Army General's name"

"Petraeus"

"When there's no war does he have lots of free time?"

"No, not really. He still has to prepare the troops."

"Is he nice to his army?"

"Yup. It's his job to protect them"

"Does he get to drive a tank? Does he use a gun? Does he have his own phone? Does he wear Army pants?" etc., etc., etc.,

I, the Multi-tasker Mother Supreme, answer or respond the best I can as I dress, feed, pack, organize.... However, by the time Colby's got to be out the door with Scott to walk to school, I'm happy to pass the baton of Answer-Person to Scott.


"Does the Army change generals?"

"Colb, you're going to have ask Daddy that question as you're nearly late for school"

"But Daddy doesn't know everything."
