The average 4-year-old
Asks 437 questions
A day

 

437 questions
Everyday

 

A child lives
With their mind
Cracked open

 

Free to every
Thought
Whim
Fantasy

 

How many questions did you ask today?

 

What kind of questions were they?

 

What time is it?
What's the temperature outside?

 

Mundane
Boring
Questions

 

Children ask questions
That stretch the boundaries
Of human knowledge

 

They ponder things adults
Wouldn't dare to

 

They dream things beyond
Imaginative limits

 

A four-year-old will ask
    What is this?
For they are not afraid
of being judged for ignorance

 

A four-year-old will ask
     Why?
For they see life with the lense of curiosity

 

A four-year-old asks 437 questions everyday
