in case you were wondering...

Maggie has always been that kid that asks funny questions. She's asked me things like, "Do I have a birthday EVERY year?" and "Mom, when you were little were pencils invented yet?" or one of my all time favorites, "Mom, did you have cars when you were little?" Sometimes I think she's outgrown this stage. Then we have a conversation like the one this evening during Social Studies homework...

Maggie: Momma, were you born yet in 1607?

Me: No! Why?

Maggie: That's when Jamestown was settled.

Me: Were you wondering if I was around when Jamestown was settled?

Maggie: Yeah.

Me: What did you want to know? Maybe we could look it up together.

Maggie: I dunno.
