Q: I've lost something significant in my life. Is there any possible way to get it back?
A: Hmmm. I'm going to say no. You've lost it right? So, being 5, I'm going to assume that you don't remember where you put it, or it doesn't remember where you left it, or it's gone on purpose, or it doesn't exist anymore for whatever reason.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, only bad really because you said it was significant. If it was a thing, that's OK, because there are lots of things that you can get to occupy your time. If it was a girlfriend or boyfriend, then that's a whole other ball of wax. If they are gone, see if you can't get them back. If they are gone gone, then they are gone gone. If that's the case, I'd go somewhere and buy a new Barbie Doll. Somehow, they seem to have all the answers. At any rate, I wish I could get you back what you lost, but I cannot.
I do know that your life itself is significant, so hang on to it for as long as you can and live life to its fullest. Because next thing you know, someone will be buying a Barbie in your place...and the thing that you lost now will have wanted you to live, love, and laugh. Unless it was a marble or something.
It wasn't your marbles was it? Sorry...couldn't resist.
Peace Out!

Question from Ronalda
Q: How has it been for you since Evan came on the scene?
A: For those of you who don't know, Evan is my 5-year old adopted brother. You know Ronalda, I guess it really depends on the day. It's really a love/hate relationship. I hate him if he doesn't love me. And I love him if he loves me. There doesn't seem to be an in-between.
But really, he's been my brother now for 7 months, and according to my parents, god rest their souls, he's here to stay and torment me for eternity, I mean he's here to stay. What I don't understand is how come, when we all go away as a family, he doesn't stay behind in the kennel? I know uncle Dean keeps his Chloe in a kennel, and life is hassle free the whole trip he says. Oh well, my Barbie books keep me occupied on our trips, so it's no skin off my back.
All in all, Evan is a wonderful boy who brings me great joy. I am the luckiest girl on the planet to have him for a brother. But when I learn kung-fu, I'm going to chop him silly.
But he is a cutie, I'll give him that.

Question from Mahamad
Q: What's the use?
A: You're a philosophy professor aren't you? And you've asked this several times to your students, and not one student has satisfied you with the answer you want to hear. Well, you came to the right outlet buster - a 5 year old!
I'd like to know why you ask, really. I'm assuming you're really down about something, or you're just testing me. I bet somewhere along the way, you've lost sight of what it is in life that is useful. What you are really doing is trying to find meaning in your existence, right? Oh, you're not? You're just asking the question? Oh, that's OK, I am just answering it.
You see, the use of anything is found inside of you. And it's also found outside of you, because really, it's not all about you. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Yep, I said it. It's NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. If you're looking for other people or things to give you a feeling that you, or it, or they are useful, then you're missing the point. You are coming from a selfish standpoint. "Make my life better", "You owe me", "Give me meaning", "Entertain me". These are all the hidden statements behind your original question. What's the use?
The "use" is what you make it. And by the sounds of it, you are not making anything of it. There is tons of "use" in this life. Have you ever played with a Barbie? Don't laugh...they are awesome. Have you ever done something nice for someone else or even yourself? Gotta love yourself first! If you're asking "what's the use?", then you likely haven't thought about what's after this life. What's the use after this life? There's got to be something after this life. If you think that's impossible, where did you come from in the first place? If you think there is no use and you want to go back from whence you came, from whence did you came? You must of came from some whence. That whence might have some answers for you.
Anyway, I could go on and on, but you'd only give me a C anyway.
Oh, if you're really just testing me, then there is no use.
Except that Barbies rule and philosophy professors drool.
Word, Mahamad.
