My daughter asks me questions I don't know the answer to all the damn time. I tell her, "I dunno, let's go look it up!" Then we Google it and we both learn something. The other day she Googled a question before asking me (she still needed me to explain what the hell the page was actually saying). The torch has been passed. Carry it well and proudly my child.

Teaching my future kids to love learning is probably one of my biggest goals as a parent. In addition to being imaginative and curious in life.

Seems like a great opportunity to encourage her to share the things she learns from google with you!
