That's SAMMY all the way. Sometimes I look back and my older daughter is just staring out the window and I know she's thinking that she wishes she was somewhere else besides trapped in the car with this crazy talking child. Haha. Do you try to answer all of them or do you skip a few? I haven't figured out a good technique.

my dd did that one day for a few hours then turned to me and said "you know, i think I could talk for days". They are cute. Ms. Frizzle on the Magic School Bus says "If you keep asking questions, you will keep getting answers."

It just gets tiring. Learning to read is a good thing - then the world is full of encyclopedias. They are nice.
