Trivial Pursuit of Non-Trivial Matters

Actual questions that have been asked recently by our inquisitive daughter:

Question #1: What’s the name of the black person who teaches at my school?
Answer: Did you just say black person??
[Note #1: We’re not sure how or from whom Olivia learned about racial categories. Things should get even more interesting when she starts questioning her own racial makeup, which happens to be a tri-color amalgam.]
[Note #2: For those of you playing along at home, the actual answer is Maria.]

Question #2: Where do squirrels live?
Answer (as provided by questioner): In nests called dreys

Question #3: What’s God?
Answer: Go ask your mother.
