bedtimequestionstorm
/ˈbɛdtaɪmˈkwɛstʃənˌstɔːm/nounVerified NewAlso in: Fragegewitter (Deutsch) · interrogantesca (Español) · questempête (Français)
The philosophical interrogation launched at lights-out, exactly when answers are least available.
The bedtimequestionstorm opens with "where does the sky end?" and escalates through mortality, infinity, and the dog's opinion. Parents answer three questions well, one badly, and the last with "tomorrow," which never comes. The storm passes in ten minutes and leaves the house thinking, at the wrong hour, about all of it.
Etym. — bedtime + question storm — the front that rolls in when the light goes off.
