Today he's asked me to explain such words as "about" and "instead." When he was leaving school his friends all gathered around him to give him a big hug. I said, "You guys are so cute - you're making my heart melt" to which he asked "Mommy what does melt mean?"
Although he uses these words every day, he seems to just want to know the deeper meaning. Where is Confucius when you need him?

I get stumped when they ask questions about how blood cells attack germs or how the sun moves away from the earth in the winter. It's stuff that you THINK you know but then when you have to actually explain it, well, it just doesn't work out well. I think I end up confusing them even MORE.
