But if I have to hear, “Mommy,” followed by another question that just happens to pop into her mind, my brain will become a scrambled egg. 4yr old is home today with pink eye. I videoed her earlier to get a sense of how many questions she was asking me. She averaged 4 questions a minute. She’s been up since 6:30 and it is now almost 3:30. 4 questions a minute x 60 minutes in an hour = 240 questions an hour. That’s 2160 questions BARE MINIMUM today, all started by “Mommy!” Guys….help.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the suggestions, condolences, and solidarity stories! Looks like a smart home speaker is in order. I appreciate you all. It takes a village. Have a great Thanksgiving to my US parents!
