Since 90% of conversation with Lincoln consists of him asking questions, I've got a good arsenal of them to post, now if I can just remember some of the best...
Why is honey sticky?
Where do beavers live?
Do beavers have doors and windows on their houses?
Do beavers eat flesh? ( this was a follow-up after learning that Tigers eat flesh- a question his Daddy answered)
Do snakes eat flesh?
How do snakes walk?
Do alligators eat flesh?
What is flesh?
Why do turkeys have legs if they can fly?
Why do chickens need their wings clipped?
How did the baby get in your tummy?
How will the baby get out of your tummy?
Why do we have to plug in the vacuum?
Why can't I drive?
When can I drive?
Does this plant have thorns?
How did the thorns get on the plant?
Why do motorcycles have motors?
Where are the clouds? (Many of his questions are those of which he already knows the answer.)
And so on, and so on...
I'm tellin' ya-it's all day long!
I can't say I mind too much for the most part- I like the idea of having an inquisitive child and I know that it's an extremely common phase.
But, there are times when I think, okay kid, let your mom have some time for her own thoughts.
He's so into this questioning phase that he'll even preempt himself. For example, yesterday he asked me if he could have a cookie and before I could even answer him, he said (a little incensed) "why?"
He's too funny. We sure love this kid and consider it a great blessing every day that he's our oldest.

That is too funny! We get the baby questions all the time and I still haven't figures out a good kid friendly answer to them... I can fudge the "how does the baby get into a mommy's belly" but I still can't explain how the baby gets out in kids terms...
