Conversation with my 2 year old after we passed a school bus while driving to daycare.
Charlie: School bus!
Me: Here comes another one!
Charlie: More school buses!
Me: Bye, school bus!
Charlie: Where’d it go?
Me: It had to go pick up more kids for school.
Charlie:Why?
Me: Because kids need to get a ride to school.
Charlie:Why?
Me:Because the need to go to school to learn.
Charlie: Why?
Me: Because school helps kids learn new things.
Charlie: Why?
Me: I don’t know, Babe.
Charlie: Why?
Me: ( I give up) Why?
I love this stage that Charlie is in! So observant and curious. Everything is always “why?” Eventually, I am out of reasons, and I close out over conversation with the same word that kept the conversation going.
Haha I can relate!

The dreaded why. Both a blessing and a curse.

Haha. The why’s you want them to ask because they’re exploring the world, but also want to stop at some point! Any time I would tell my now 3 year old eventually that I didn’t know, he would tell me, “That’s okay. I’ll ask Papi. He always knows.”

oh, I love this! We called our daughter “the why bird” when she was in that stage, but I agree with you, I loved it until I couldn’t think of another reason to respond to the “why.”
