Six Odd Things I Googled for my Kids This Week.

Posted on June 12, 2015 9 Comments

Six odd things I googled for my kids this week... tell me I am not alone with the weird kid questions?

How did anyone ever parent without having google in their pocket?

How did my parents cope with the multitude of weird and wonderful questions my brother and I asked without being able to appear really smart while really getting google to do all the work for them?

Or perhaps we just didn’t ask so many difficult questions back in the ‘good old days’ because we knew we wouldn’t get an decent answer?

It seems my kids have been on a roll with the crazy questions this week, and I’ve been googling my little heart out on their behalf’s.

Here’s six really odd things I googled for my kids this week…

What is oviparous?
Because none of us believed our four year old when he said it means ‘things that lay eggs’…. of course he was correct.

What is a palindrome? Closely followed by: What are the funnest words to say?
“Mr. Owl ate my metal worm.” – this is a palindrome.
Kakapo, flibbertigibbet, staphylococcus – these are the most funnest words to say.

What is the ‘like a cheese stick’ song called?
Who’d have thunk that good old google could figure out the song we were talking about from that question, but it seems we are not the only ones who think Far East Movement sing “Like a cheese stick”

Did dinosaurs have thumbs?
We’ll all sleep better tonight knowing that yes, some dinosaurs did have thumbs, well sort of thumbs, but not really thumbs, but kind of… are you sleeping yet?

Why is the moon yellow tonight?
And thanks to the magic of google I don’t have to reply with “because it is”.

Why do people say bad things are ‘lemons’?
Because the English language is silly, that’s why… or you might prefer this more, um, interesting answer.

Please tell me I am not alone with the weird, wonderful kid questions!?!
Please tell me I am not the only one with an oddly random google history?

What crazy questions have you been asked lately?
What’s in your google history?

    The power of google! A standard answer in our house for the million questions is Mummy will have to look that one up on google………even the kids say it now. Yep no pretending I have the answers in this house.

      How did I ever manage before I had an iphone and google in my pocket?
      I do remember telling my girls to ‘go ask Miss D’ a lot when they were in kinder!

    Too funny Kate! My 11yr treats Google like a dictionary – a point I’d forgotten when I told her the anatomically correct name of part of her body one morning while trying to get ready for school. Shortly after, I’ve walked past her sitting at the computer googling the word vulva. Woahhh! You can imagine the sorts of images that popped up :/ I very quickly re-directed her to a couple of more age appropriate books we have instead.

    Yeah, the all-knowing google (in the eyes of 3,5 yo):
    “Mommy, will daddy play with duplo with me when he comes home?”
    “I don’t know, sweety…”
    “Well, go ask google then!”
