Are my children the only ones who ask countless questions while you're driving?  I think they do it because I'm a "captive" and can't get out of answering!  I try not to discourage their seemingly endless stream of Why, What, Where, Who... yet, do feel a need to somehow find a proper time and place for it.  The van is not the place for me to think! 

Today as we were driving back from an early morning trip to the doctor's office for a strep culture , my not-quite 9 year old daughter asks the following:

"Mom, who would want to buy unfinished furniture?"

If you're a "visual learner" like me, you know exactly what this child was thinking- chairs with only 3 legs, tables missing a top, dressers without their drawers!  Now that we have that issue all cleared up, she wants to know when we can go there and pick out some furniture for her room!
