Why?

It has happened.

Brode asks "WHY?" a lot!

He has simply asked one "why?" before, but yesterday it started. I'll set the scene for you:
I'm in the kitchen packing my lunch for work and getting Brode some juice. He is standing on the couch, peeking over the back watching me with that innocent little face.

"Mom I want some lunch."

"Brode we haven't even had breakfast yet. You're going to go have breakfast at day care and then lunch later."

"Why?"

"Because breakfast comes first."

"Why?"

"It's important. It goes breakfast, lunch, dinner. Breakfast, lunch, dinner."

"Breakfast, lunch, dinner?"

"Yes Brode."

"Why?"

"That's just what they're called. You can't have fruit snacks for breakfast."

"Why?"

This is about the point I looked up from my sandwich and realized I had answered a handful of the same questions over and over. Brode still does not understand why he needs to eat breakfast before lunch, but he was pretty happy with taking his juice and half mini bagel and heading to day care.

Whew - hopefully I'll have more answers next time.

Wrong.

Scene:
I'm laying in Brodes blue car bed in his bedroom. Yes, Full House - Uncle Jessie and Becky can't get Nicky and Alex to bed - style. He tucked my toes in then started playing with toys and books.

"Brode, you need to come lay down."

"Why?"

"We're done with books. Lets sing songs and go to bed"

"Why?"

"Because we're all tired and need to wake up early."

"Why?"

"You'll be crabby if you don't get to bed."

"Why?"

"You need a lot of sleep."

He walked over to me, leans over the side of the bed 3 inches from my face and with that high pitched, innocent voice: "Why?"

"Lay down."

It's only the beginning. He is so innocent and he even throws his hands, palm up into the air and I can't help but laugh but I dont know if its curiosity or annoyance that wants to ask.
