Who, What, Where, When...WHY?

Here is a glimpse into what our lives are like these days with a curious two year old.

The other day we were getting in the car when our neighbor drove past us in her car.

And this is the conversation we had during our 10 minute drive the store.

Miles: Who is it?

Me: That's our neighbor.

Miles: Where's the neighbor at?

Me: She drove away down the road.

Miles: Where's the neighbor at?

Me: I don't know, maybe she went to work.

Miles: Why?

Me: So she can make some money.

Miles: Why?

Me: So she can buy groceries.

Miles: Why?

Me: So she can make dinner.

Miles: Why?

Me: because we need to eat to stay alive.

Miles: Where's the neighbor at?

For about a week now this is a frequent conversation:

Miles: Hey Mom, guess what?

Me: What?

Miles: It's your birthday.

Me: It's not my birthday.

Miles: Why?

Me: Because my birthday is in March and it is July.

Miles: Mom, it's your birthday.

Me: Okay, are you going to throw me a party?

Miles: Why?

Me: Because birthday parties are fun.

Miles: Nope.

And another one of our favorites:

Miles: Hey Mom, what you do'n?

Me: I'm doing the dishes.

Miles: Why?

Me: Because there are so many they don't fit in the sink anymore?

Miles: They don't fit in the sink?

Me: Nope, so I need to wash them.

Miles: Why?

Me: So they will be clean and we'll have plates for dinner.

Miles: Why?

Me: Because we don't want to eat off the table.

Miles: Why?

Me: Because that would make a huge mess and I don't want to clean it up.

Miles: Why?

Me: Because I have enough messes to clean up.

Miles: Why?

Me: Because you and daddy are messy.

Miles: Me and daddy are messy?

Me: Yea.

Miles: Why?

Me: I don't know.

Anyway, if you ever catch me laughing quietly to myself

it's because I'm remembering one of these conversations.

I love my little guy and his never ending curiosity.
