Questions

I'm learning with Eve that many times questions are better left un-asked.  Two examples...
A few months ago Eve said, "Mommy, I wish I had legs like you."  Should've left it there and appreciated the compliment.  But no, I had to ask the question, "Is it because you want to be able to reach things that are up high?"  "Yes".
Today Eve was talking about a family picture she drew at school today.  After asking about the rest of the family, I asked, "Did you draw me?"  "Yes, I drew you tiny."  This time, lesson learned, I didn't ask any questions, but I didn't change the subject quickly enough.  She continued, "I drew you tiny because there wasn't much space left."
I think I'll just stick with having desirable legs and being drawn tiny.
