We were driving Carter to school and there had been a fatality crash up ahead. There was a ton of traffic and we were trying to exit the highway and go a different way to get Carter to school. During the duration of our drive Elise asked me a million questions. It was a bit stressful for me. Here's a sampling of all the questions she asked...

"Why does that lady want to be a cat?"

Elise: Mommy, what is that little thing?
Me: I don't know, what little thing?
Elise: THAT LITTLE THING!!!!!!
Me: I have no way of knowing if you don't tell me more.
Elise: That little thing with a hat that used not to be outside and is now.

"Can Kyra and Charlee come over after school so we can all play with each agether?"

"Here Mommy, take my plate!"

"I'm still hungry. Can I have a waffle?"

"Why did that lady ding at you and think you didn't have your seatbelt on?"

"Why is there so much traffic?"

"Where is everyone trying to go?"

"Why did those bullies freeze everyone?"

"Is this the long way? Why are we going the long way?"

"Where are all those school buses going? Why are there school buses?"

While we were attempting to exit the highway a truck drove across the grass separating the exit from the access road, Elise said, "Why did he do that? Why is it illegal? Why didn't the police stop him? Should he go to jail?"

By the time we got Carter dropped off at school I told Elise I needed some quiet time because I was so frazzled from the stress of trying to get Carter to school on time and all her questions! Luckily Ty called me to tell me traffic was backed up so we left early but Carter had slept in so it was a bit of a crazy rush!
