Words of Wisdom Wednesday: August 25, 2010

Welcome to this week's edition of Words of Wisdom Wednesday.  The question I chose to ask this week is:

Why do we sleep?

Here is Tabitha's answer:

We close our eyes and lay down on our bed.  And we get tired and close our eyes and lay down and wake up in the morning.  Then we play, then we write, then we get to play a lot of times.  We get to play with our backpack.  

Mom: But why do we go to sleep?

T: Because we gotta grow.

M: Is there anything else you want to tell me?

T: Just 10 days and a week it will be football time.  (Then she walked away for a couple of minutes)

T: Mommy I want to tell you something else.  We have to grow big and tall and we do this (she was jumping up and down).  

Once again she walked away and I was going to ask Amelia when Tabitha came back over 

T: Mom I guess I want to tell you one thing.  When we sleep, we're bigger.

Here is Amelia's answer:

Close our eyes.

Grow big, big, big, big. (She was obviously listening to Tabitha even though I though she was off and playing.)

What about your children.  What would they say if you asked them why we sleep.  If you decide to ask them, don't forget to post about it and link back up here in the linky below with your Words of Wisdom Wednesday link URL.  Please link back here in your post too, please.  You could even grab my Words of Wisdom Wednesday button over at the left.
