A Child's-Eye-View

My mom is a third-grade teacher at Suttons Bay Elementary in Traverse City, MI. She has been sharing the not pg-13 parts of our blog with the kids in her class. They had some questions about India so they sent us an email. This is what 12 year olds want to know:


Questions from the kids:


1.  Can you catch the monkeys?

2.  Can you feed the monkeys?  Do they eat bananas?

3.  Can you bring them a monkey?

4.  Do they have phones?

5.  What kind of shoes do they wear?

6.  Do they have t.v.?

7.  What kind of clothes do they wear?

8.  Why are the cows holy?

9.  Why are the cows allowed in the road?

10.  Do kids go to school like we do?

11.   What do the houses look like?

12.  Were you standing on a table in the picture?

13.  How big are the houses?

14.  How do you like the different kinds of food?

15.  Will the monkeys bite you?

16.  What other animals are there?

17.  How do they write?

18.  What kind of music do they listen to?

Kids are the best.

  1. My favorite question was if the monkeys have phones. Also, Jenny'll be happy to hear my answers to all the animal petting and animal-napping questions.

    That question came after several monkey questions, but it did not ask about the monkeys specifically, maybe they meant the people
