So, we all face questions in our life and no matter how good we are at answering them, we will be facing some of them every now and then. My question to you is: What was the most difficult question you have faced at your child age? or What was the first question you have been asked which you failed to answer! Mine was : What is 2 and 2? Mind you I was only 3 years old at that time!

I can't think of any particular question but I know what the most difficult thing I had to do as a kid was. It was leaving Italy at the age of 10, unable to speak English, being placed in a normal English speaking classroom and being told to sink or swim! It was truly a horrible time and my parents are oblivious to this day what a hellish experience it was!

And now I can see "paula" is going good in English, thanks to you that you choose to swim rather than sink, otherwise, I don't know if I could even talk to you. REason behind is that I don't know "I" of Italian language. You must be proud, that you now know two languages, Italiano and English, isn't it?

Hi Ysabel! When we face a breakup in relationship, we feel stronger than before, it is same with you. I am happy that now you are back at mylot and I wish that you will be totally healed by the time you read this comment. Never mind, if you can't think of those questions, it means that you are trying to forget your past. I am sure that one day you will remember your childish answers to the questions you never konw the answers!

The most difficult question as far as I could remember was 'Do you want the chocolate or the Ice cream'? It is strange I found it very difficult to answer that decisively even now at this age.

You have given me a choice to make you confuse at times. Hmm, I bet Balasri is going to choose Chocolate even at this age when he is getting an offer to choose between Choco and icecream, am I right?

Hi sanadoodoo..well now that you are 4, you should be able to answer that question now....ooops! Im sorry, the answer was 4! I do remember the most difficult question as a child because I was so mad at myself. I cant remember what grade I was in. I was always the best speller and never liked to make a mistake. I entered spelling competitions at the school and I never lost. I was in a finalist competition to go on to compete against other schools. The teacher gave me the word "during"...seems simple now but at the time, the teacher was pronouncing it as "juring", so thats how I spelled it. There was no sentence included so I would know what she meant to say. Just the word which she pronounced wrong. I was so mad because it lost me the final competition. I always wondered if it was done on purpose. Even at that young an age, I complained but nothing was done. I have never forgotton to this day

Hi Sanyorita, So sorry to hear that you lost your final competition but I think you should have asked that word to use in a sentence becaues I have also seen world championship of spelling and they do use the word in a sentence. but may be juring that time, it was not the case!

Hi Sanu! The most difficult question or it wouldbe better to face a situation in my case was when I got selection for the job I am now as on the same day I got two appointment letters and the job was same but places differed. I t took me almost seven days to resolve my mind and finally said bye to the one that located at quite a distnt place when compared to this one. The positive point there was thatI would get a little more money and the rest remaining the same.

I am not surprised with the choice you made for your job. I mean if I will also get to choose between distant place job and near to home job having same salary structure, i would also choose the near to home job!

Sanu- I'm not sure if you are asking what question we asked our parents at a young age or what questions our children asked us when they were little, so I'll try to answer both. When I was 3, I started asking for my first communion (I grew up Catholic), and I was so persistant asking questions like "Do you think I'm too evil for the Eucharist", that I was finally interviewed by the Cardinal and allowed by Pope John Paul II to have my first communion at age 5. I can't really recall any questions that I thought were overly difficult from my oldest, save maybe them asking why people were mean or such. I can't ever really answer that one save to say some people are like that. I think the most in depth question I had was from my oldest who wanted to know why I wasn't a Christian anymore.

I will never forget when I was 6 years old and I was in grade one. I finished grade one without knowing how to do subtraction. I was always being scolded by my teacher because no matter how hard she tried teaching me still I never learned how to subtract. I just learned that when I was in grade two. I knew anyway how to add since grade one. My biggest question also is that why do we needed to be far from our parents? Because during that time my parents were in abroad working for our living. I was taken care by my great grandparents. I do not remember any other childhood questions but I was a kid who has a lot of questions about this and that.

Hmm, at least you were able to subtract in Grade two but me, I couldn't even count after 10 in Grade one, such a shame but the good thing was that I scored 100 marks in grade three or four(can't remember). My teachers were surprised when they saw my results!

I think the first question I couldn't answer and still can't..would be "what do you want to be when you grow up?" LOL...I have never known what I really want to be or what I'm supposed to be for that matter. There is so much to do

I can remember what I had said in answr to the sme question. I said, I will be an Engineer. Everyone was very impressed but i thought that I made a mistake. I was really nervous but my mother said that I was right. One should have a dream but that dream hasn't ben fulfiled yet for me!

I think the most difficult question I ever faced when I was a child was wither or not to chose between being able to play outside or watch tv. my parents were going to use one or the other to punish me for not getting good grades in school. I decied to let me play outside.

What ? Play outside or watch TV as a punishment. I would love to hav that kind of punishment. Watching TV isn't cool but I would have also chosen play outside.

I don´t know which one was the first. But I still remember when I was trying to teach my math to my first daughter and she asked me why one was one. What was I going to answer? I haven´t found the answer to that one yet. The closest I have come is that man invented math to try to explain the universe that was too complex for them. Happy posting, friend.

Oh okay, not a problem because it hardly matters what you did in your childhood but what matters the most is that you are doing a good job now. What are you doing these days?

I remember one time being reprimanded by a teacher and she told me i was too independent... i don't even know what the word independent means, i also don't know the phrase "it depends..." before and my mom and aunties had a very hard time explaining it to me, lol... I don't have a child yet, and im curious too what these children are going to ask that i'll find it hard to answer.

Don't you feel scared sometime that they will be asking the same question you used to ask to your parents. For me, I can't wait to have children so that I can answer their never ending questions!

That question even bugs me most of the time but my parents used to ask me when they used to have fight with each other. Those were worst days in my life and to make it even worse they use to ask me whether I love my mum or father. I have never answered that querry in my life.
