The "why's"

WatchPot

We are in the why's at our house.

Why everything.  At first we would make it fun and play along with all of it but now it's getting to be rediculous.  We could go on and on with the whys for 40 minutes.

So....just give in and let him be curious or cut it off before he annoys everyone in his life

How long is this a "normal" behavior?

Oh my gosh we are there too.  It's tough!  I have no idea how long it lasts, but we had M's 3 year check up last week and I told her about the "why's" and she said we should answer him as much as we can.  Oy.

My friends daughter went through that baaaaaaad last summer. I thought I was going to lose it after 30 mins with her. She's better now, though!

Yep we get "Why's" around here but its usually because he wants to do something and I have said No.  I find myself saying 'because I said so"  UGH!  On the other hand Cruz tries to pretend he isn't hearing what I'm saying when I say things he doesn't want to hear and he keeps saying "What?"

Oh no! I'm not looking forward to those days, but it totally reminds me of this Louis CK stand up:

It becomes relevant to the "why's" at minute 7, but it is all relevant to parenting in general and absolutely hilarious. Lots of F-bombs, so if you are not into that kind of thing, I don't suggest watching it

And FWIW, my mom always said, "because I said so." when she was fed up with it.
