Sometimesnpeople say, “There are no stupid questions.”
Sometimesnpeople say, “There are no stupid questions.”n
n
n
n
n
nButnI’m not sure that’s entirely true. For example, I once asked how thendoctors and parents knew if a brand-new baby was a boy or a girl. Younknow, when he or she is first born, before there are clothes or anname to make the sex clear to all.
n
n
n
n
n
nOkay,nyeah, I was a little kid. But I was old enough to know better!
n
n
n
n
n
nSonmaybe there are some stupid questions. But one thing I know for sure:nwe shouldn’t worry too much about asking stupid questions. It’s farnbetter to ask a stupid question than to never ask a question!
n
n
n
nThis day was created by people who want kids to ask more questions. If you don’t understand something, ask a question. If you aren’t sure something is true, ask how someone knows that, what the source is. If you don’t know how something works, ask!
n
n
n
n(Bynthe way, now that I am an adult, I realize that my stupid question above was notnso very stupid, after all, because in 1 out of every 100 births,ndoctors and parents DON’T know if the child is a boy or a girl.)
