WHY?

Before you start thinking this is going to be a deep conversation let me go ahead and nix that idea. This is more about life with a 3 year old. Some mom's say they get tired of hearing "mom" all day...not me. All I hear all day is "WHY?"

Emmie is FULL of questions...especially when we're in the car.

Em: Mommy, what is that?
Me: It's a stop sign, tree, car, mailbox, etc...the common denominator is that it's something she already knows the name of.
Em: But WHY is it a stop sign, tree, car, mailbox?
Me: uhhhhh...long awkward silence...because it is?

I'm pretty sure 9 times out of 10 my reply comes out sounding like a question.

Every now and then though I ask a question of my own.

WHY?
