Here are six questions for you…
Are they straight-forward and easy or are they more complex?
It obviously depends on how you see them:
- What 4 words appear on every denomination of U.S. coins?
- How many four cent stamps in a dozen?
- Some months have 30 days, some months have 31, how many have 28 days?
- Is it legal in the United States for a man to marry his widow’s sister?
- How far can a dog run into the woods?
- You take two apples from three apples and what would you have?
(The answers are at the bottom of the page
)
You know the power of questions? Right?
All answers come from questions.
Questions are good beginning steps, steps along the way and steps to evaluate endings.
Pretty simple. Or is it?
What if the question is clear and the answer is not?
All answers come through your perspectives, beliefs and experiences.
What you see, is what you are likely to see again.
Not bad, just something to be aware of.
When you’re taking steps, asking questions will help guide you. Remembering to be open to new answers will do the same.
It’s obvious (or is it?)…
Questions have power because they generate answers, and move you forward – one step at a time
What are your favorite questions? ( I like … what else?)
Do you know any school age kids? Do you ever ask them what they’re doing in school? (I like … did you ask any good questions?)
Please share your stories – and questions – and spread the word.
Have Fun,
Jim

The most simple/most common:What? Where? When? How? Why?
Did you see that!?!?!
Are you sure?
Re: dinner table questions to the kids – the ones I used the most often:
“So, what was the worse thing that happened to you today?”
“Wow! Ok, now what was the best thing that happened to you today?”
each followed by much round table discussion
Kelly! Your comments are always so welcome and insightful. Thank you for coming here. I love how you acknowledged each side and talked it through. You must have had some pretty interesting discussions! I imagine the questions and answers have yielded many rewards for your family. Thanks for sharing.
Claire, Thanks for stopping by again and sharing. I’m so glad you add your perspectives. I know what you’re talking about. We have four kids, well not so much kids anymore but when they were, “what did you do in school?” or “how was school” was answered by “nothing” or “OK” so many times… Then they went to their rooms or talked to friends (homework I’m sure). Dinner became a time when the conversations got deeper and answers appeared. I can’t help but ask … anything fantastic happen in your day today?
