"Do I have fluid in my stomach?" This question comes out of left field as Samuel plays with a monster truck.
We had been studying how the body processes food. What fascinates me is the way Samuel processes information. I think whatever we talk about in school just gets run over and over in his mind and pops out over the next few days as questions.
I'm also wondering if he's checking that facts remain facts. That's a given, to you and me -- unless proven otherwise, what is a fact today will be a fact tomorrow and next week. But I suspect Samuel is testing this. It takes patience to answer the same questions over and over (by the evening, my eyes are starting to glaze over!) but it's worth it in the long run.
