「一隻蚊被另一隻蚊咬到,會唔會痕?早上和夜晚交更,會打一個甚麼手勢?石頭聽到甚麼音樂會打乞嗤?」這遊戲主要目的不是答問題,而是創作問題。

大人、孩子誰先開始都可以。這是一個讓我們離開一下循規蹈矩的日常行事,我們不是要鼓勵孩子創作嗎?事實上,大人也得益。

把創作的問題寫下,裝訂成書,變成諾貝爾文學得獎者 Pablo Neruda的詩集 Book of Questions 的姊妹版。孩子也可跟朋友玩,我鼓勵用真實郵件。然後問:「郵差叔叔每天要送出幾多個問號?」

‘When a mosquito is bitten by another mosquito, does it feel itchy? What hand gesture is made at the change of morning and night shifts? What concert would make a stone sneeze?’ The main purpose of this game is not to answer the questions, but to create questions.

Both grown-ups and children can start first. This allows us to leave the convention-abiding day-to-day routine. Don’t we want to encourage children to create? In fact, grown-ups benefit from this too.

Write down the questions created, bind them into a book and turn it into a sister edition of poetry collection Book of Questions by Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. Children can also play with friends and I encourage using physical letters. Then ask, ‘How many question marks does Mr Postman deliver every day?’

雄仔叔叔,講古佬,也寫詩。「一隻蚊⋯⋯」的問題是兒子七歲時問的,他現在已經二十四歲了。
