Pretty much the day after her second birthday, Ava started in with the “why?” to everything we said.
“It’s time to go inside, Ava.”
“Why?”
“Because we have to eat supper.”
“Why?”
“Because food gives us energy.”
“Why?”
“Because it has vitamins in it.”
“Why?”
And on and on. It’s great to see her be so inquisitive, and it’s a real workout to keep coming up with even semi-plausible answers to her questions.
