WHY???????
I think back to all my friends who had children before me and thought why do little kids always say"WHY?" It drives me crazy!!!! I thought to myself, "my kids never went through that stage..." Well, I jinxed myself, it has now started. They look at you with such deep thought and concern with those little eyes and say "why mommy/daddy?" What do you say besides "because I said so"..... I had hoped I would have missed that stage, but no... not my girls, they don't miss a thing. So I have decided hhuuhh.... I wonder what will happen if I just don't say a thing...... to be continued.

I once heard the following explanation for the "why" phenomenon among little kids:
They want to be part of a conversation like how they hear grown-ups doing it (people talking back and forth to each other) and the way they do that is by saying "why" since it prompts a response and the conversation continues.
I heard this right around the time my niece was in this phase and it helped me to deal with the incessant "why's" she kept posing at me - but I wasn't around her all the time, so it wasn't so bad for me :)
