We have watched New Moon, Breaking Dawn and The Lost Boys together. He also like to know about the books I am reading and will look over my shoulder to read to me at night. While I was reading one of the books from The House of Night series he decided he wanted to know all of the details. I gave him all of the details he ask for about the plot and story line. I thought we had finally finished when I had turned out the lights for bed. Little did I know he had just began with the deep questions.
I guess I should have figured this out sooner since two years ago Toy Story 3 brought up the dreaded "Where do babies come from?" questions. He came to this question all because Andy grew up. What a fun night that was. So I turned out the lights and the first thing I heard out of the darkness was "Momma, where do vampires come from? I mean how were they made?" I started thinking and the first thing that came to mind to answer him was of course the first novel written about them. So I told him who Bram Stoker was and that the first vampires name was Dracula that I knew of. He seemed happy with that I guess since he then asked "Why are some good and some bad?"
We talked a little longer until he finally fell asleep. His questions got me thinking about why they were created. I decided it would be fun to start a romance series containing an ongoing battle between good and evil that began with an ancient curse upon the Moon Goddess. Makes sence that only a Moon Goddess could create such a creature that helps to guard against demonic powers on earth. So my journey began. Now it is my turn to ask a question. What is the strangest thing a child has ever asked you?
