Part of learning involves questioning and of course (not only) listening to the answers. As a child this formed a large part of any conversation with me, like most children.
While creating daisy-chains with my Mother, "Did you do this with your Mummy when you were little?"
When a little older most of my Mum's answers involved the comment, "Barbara.... you blind me with science". Which I took to mean, "Ask your Father".
