Are You Smarter Than a Five-Year-Old?

One just never knows the direction in which the spinning wheels are headed in Reiss's head. One thing is certain though, he will come up with numerous inquiries that boggle the mind on a variety of topics every single day. If you want to feel like a big dummy, just come to my house. The invitation is open any day of the year.

Here is a sampling of questions posed to me by Reiss and my responses. These are just from today.

Why don't jets fly in space?
Jets are not equipped to break through the Earth's atmosphere.

Why can't fish walk?
Fish swim in the water with their fins. They don't have feet.

How deep is the sky?
There are different heights in the sky, Reiss. The sky doesn't really start or end anywhere.

How many gallons of water are in the ocean?
I don't know. We could look it up on the internet.

How many teeth does a seal have?
I don't know. We could look it up on the internet.

How deep can ducks swim down in the water?
I don't know. We could look it up on the internet.

Why is this flower yellow?
I don't know. We could look it up on the internet.

Why is z-o-d-d-r-e-g not a word?
I don't know.

How old is God?
I don't know.

What would happen if somebody dropped a truck down and smashed God?
Um......

Okay, see, I don't have a clue. How in the world does a person answer something like that?
