London, March 29 (ANI): Mums are bombarded with around 300 questions from their children on a daily basis, a new study has revealed.
And girls aged four are the most curious, asking an incredible 390 questions per day, the study by online retailer Littlewoods.com found
From breakfast at 7.19am to tea time at 7.59pm, the average British mum faces a testing 12.5 hour day of questioning – working out at one question every two minutes 36 seconds, the Telegraph reported.
Most questions are asked during meal times, young children rattling off 11, it revealed.
This is closely followed by a routine trip to the shops, prompting 10, and the reading of a bed-time story, which typically results in nine.
Interestingly, a huge 82 per cent of infants apparently go to their mum first rather than their dad if they have a query.
A quarter of children, 24 per cent, said they go to their mother first if they have a question because their dad will just say ”ask your mum”.
The sorts of questions mums tend to get asked varies greatly, but the most difficult include ”why is water wet?” and ”what are shadows made of?”.
