WHY?????


Many children enter a why phase around 3 years old. Jacob has it worse than any kid I have ever met. He must ask it several hundred times a day. My dad has begun answering "Why not?" I am usually one of the more patient people with the million why questions and even answer most of them. Maybe it's because I have been sick all week (I now have finally begun to feel better) but today just left me shaking my head. Here is the conversation.
Me: We need to pick up all of your toys in the living room tonight.
Jacob (looking at the toys on the floor so thick I can barely find my carpet and definitelly can't walk through): Why?
Me: Because we can't even walk through the living room!!!
Ah, the whys. I know someday I will miss them.
