Learning From Tweens

Tonight at Tween Time, I gave the students a chance to ask questions.
Any question.Nothing was off limits.
I said I would "address" them all, but I might not answer them - because I would need to refer it to their parentsor get further research.
Honestly, two questions needed further research.I'm not sure how to answer "what is God" to a tween looking for something deeper.I'm not sure what answer she's looking for.
Another asked about what heaven was like.(Hope I answered that one ok.)
The restbesides whether or not I liked Peeta or Gailor if I think One Direction is better than the Beetles, involvedquestions about me.
Where did I go to high school?How did I decide to go into children's ministry?Who is my crush?(ok, asked WAY too many times)Did I have a boyfriend?(again.....asked multiple times)- then I was entertained by how they thought I'd act IF I had a boyfriend - How old am I - in human AND in dog years(um how do you figure dog years?)and last, but not leastDid I love them?(Always, I just don't like their actions sometimes...lol)
One student joked that I needed to try online dating sites since I have a "significant" birthday coming soon.(did I know about Match.com or eHarmony)
Got to love Tweenstheir enthusiasm for life, the craziness of thingsand, well, their curiosity.
At least they keep me hopping!
