Jamie's curiosity about the world is truly all-encompassing. No topic is too big or small to attract his attention at one time or another. One really has to be prepared at any time for searching, metaphysical queries like "Why we can't hear God?" At the same time we must always be ready to closely inspect and comment upon a small piece of lint perched on top of Jamie's finger. Other questions can be rather confounding. He asked me in the bath, just last night: "Why isn't water made of concrete?" There is also of course the seemingly obvious question that must be asked, and, of course must be answered: "Did I go to school today?"
Still other times one expects the philosophical and gets the mundane. Sarah and Jamie were reading books snuggled up in his bed the other night and he looked at her and said, "Mom?" Thinking some great question or statement of love was to follow, all she got was "When is it going to be December?"
