Understanding.

Welcome everyone! Here in the Burns household we are embarking on a new endeavor. My 3 children being ever so inquisitive and always needing an explanation to what can sometimes be unexplainable, have sparked my imagination.

Children tend to need to know about EVERYTHING. And, with my older 2 it has moved from the "what's that" and "why" stages to the quest for incessant knowledge. I have now become the all knowing, fountain of knowledge for questions about anything and everything. From how it works to what it is made of. From who created that to why can't I do that. Therefore, we have come up with a project of sorts.

Each week we will post a "Question of the Week" developed by none other than our darling children. We will then take you on a little quest each day trying to decipher the appropriate answer. By the end of the week, on Friday, we will post what our final assessment has been. And, if you have followed throughout the week you will have the pleasure of understanding how we reached our conclusion.

Now, we must place the disclaimer. I must warn you that the answer sought and the answer found may not always be in agreement. What some experts would term the "correct" answer to said question may not always hold true for our children. This will be their quest and in the end the answer will solely be based on their own pursuit of knowledge, value judgements and creative evaluations of said question.

And, we are off................
