If I don’t hear the question first-hand, do I still have to answer it?

He who first hears the question must be the first to answer it. Although “I don’t know. Let’s ask Mommyo” may be the best he can do.

I would love to claim to be the brains of the family, believe me, I would. But I’m afraid past experience indicates otherwise. Happily for The Five-Year-Old, Michael’s past performance implies that he probably thought of something. Even better, he probably thought of something true.
Exhibit A: “Daddyo, have you ever made people eat food and then listened to their tummies?”
Exhibit B: “Do white blood cells have white blood in them?”
Exhibit C: “Daddyo, what did our ancestors grow out of?”
I rest my case.
