Yesterday I asked my four children “what’s your favorite big cat?”
My kids call this a “Dad Question”: an inquisitive cousin to the Dad Joke. I ask a lot of Dad Questions. I usually pounce in the car where my kids are a captive audience. They may not love being asked but more often than not it gets them thinking (and talking). My five-year-old pondered my big-cat question the longest and eventually settled on the Leopard. He likes their spots but also appreciates how leopards can drag their prey up into trees. A unique way to eat in peace! The only thing more satisfying than asking a Dad Question is getting a Kid Answer.
