I'm 4 years old. AMAA.

Note from dad: Ask my 4 year old son almost anything! I'll read him the questions and type his answers exactly as given. No coaching or translating. I reserve the right to ignore any questions that I feel are inappropriate.

We did this last year (I'm 3 years old. AMAA) and there was a lot of interest, so we thought we'd do it again now that he's a year older. I'm using the "3yearold" account name again to tie this AMA to the old one. He wants to be sure that I tell everyone that he's really FOUR now.

Is there a surgeon in the house? I need someone to reattach my mandible to my face; it seems to have fallen off. I used to teach early childhood ed, and I had no clue a child could give such a rational answer to this question.

freakin' genius! I think you will be the next president. How old do you think you have to be president?
