do you think aliens exist
how far away do they live
can we contact them
why not
where do birds go in the winter
how do they know where to go
what would happen if they didn’t come back
who was your best friend
when you were my age
why don't you know
where they live now
do butterflies sleep
will the world end someday
how
why don't you think humans
will be here to see it
what did you want to be
when you grew up
why didn’t you do that
what is your favorite season
why
who turns the street lights on & off
what happens after we die
why doesn't anyone know
can we find out
when are we getting a zebra
why not
what would a dog say if they could talk
what is your favorite color
why
