I ask all sorts of odd questions every day around here, but nothing like a 6-year old. Kids may say the darndest things, but they ask even darndest-er (what a wordsmith) things. On Monday's show, we're talking with a dad who decided to find answers to every single question his son asked. Not making them up, but finding people who could give insightful answers. And maybe not the way you'd think... "What is porn?" his son asked... So dad asked a dominatrix. "What happens when a plane flies over a volcano?" Dad went to a pilot who did it. There's plenty more we'll get to on Monday, but we need your help first. All you parents, what questions have your kids stumped you with? On the flip side, did you stump your parents with a tough question or two? Send them to us, and we'll try to get answers for you (and your kids) on Monday afternoon.

As we drove past our church one day, my three year old son asked me, "Mommy, why don't the Jews believe that Jesus is the son of God?" I nearly drove off the road.
As I was listening to the news on NPR on my way home from picking my son up from preschool one day, there was a story about a suspected serial killer that had been apprehended. My son, who was three years old at the time asked me, "Who would want to kill cereal?" Several seconds passed before I said, "I don't know, maybe the milk was sour."
