Straight From the Source

I read this same questionnaire on my friend's blogs and I couldn't help but contribute Buddha's answers to the mix (especially for journaling purposes). It's so fun to question children. Their answers are so honest and without guile. Things like this always put me in mind of the church video where they asked kids different gospel-related questions. Oh, I think it's called "Out of the Mouths of Babes." Hilarious!! Anyway, I wrote everything exactly as Buddha said it. I wish you could hear the way he says things. It makes them that much funnier. But this is great as-is. Enjoy!
