Hannah's New Favorite Game

Hannah has a new favorite game (besides asking me to spell every word she can think of so she can write it). I like to think of it as "stump Mommy" because that's what she does. She chooses complex objects, ideas, or phrases and then asks me to explain them. If she were a high school or college student, many of these questions would be a little easier to explain since the true explanation often involves a basic understanding of science and/or obscure aspects of the English language. However, being that she is 4, breaking it down in terms she would understand sometimes eludes me. Still, she continues to ask and I continue to do my best to explain while she enthusiastically shakes her head and thanks me, even if some of the explanations are downright difficult to understand as I trip over my own words while attempting to carefully construct the simplest definitions I can come up with. I guess she must be getting something out of it. Or maybe she just thinks I'm funny and that's why she keeps asking...
