Ismael Cruz Cordova

Having spent an entire month caring for my 7-year-old nephew, I’ve grown as a man, a father, and as a human in general. His insight deeply challenged my views on the world. Here are 17 of his questions that will make you pause  and reflect on your beliefs.

1-Is god a boy or a girl?
2-Why can’t all the states of the world (countries) be together in one state (country) without lines and names and they can all just be in one place close to each other so that families could be together?
3-Do girls have wieners?
4-Why can’t little kids drink that fizzy apple drink that you are drinking?
5-Why can’t I be a kid forever even when I’m an adult? So I can play and be able to ride in my baby cart?
6-Why are big men’s wieners bigger than mine?
7-You call THAT a bedtime story?!
8-Can I have two wieners?
9-When I hug you can you feel my wiener in your leg?
10-Doesn’t farts smell like waffles sometimes?
11-When you say you like that train, do you like it like you want to marry it? You can’t marry a train! The babies would come out half train half human!
12- Did I farteded when I was inside my mom’s stomach?
13-Does that make you proud? Re: me scolding him.
14-Can you imagine putting your whole arm inside that lady’s booty?!
15- Can I please taste the lemonade first before I make up my mind if I like it or not and before we pay for it? Can you put it in a cup with a mini straw?
16-Why would I want to be an actor? Actors don’t save people!
17-What is a vagina?
