I knew that children asked a lot of questions. Truth be told, it is one of the things that I love about kids. Their peculiar questions can be quite thought provoking and funny at times. I tend to encourage questions as much as I can. I just don't want my kids to be afraid to ask questions.
So, I was prepared for the question asking phenomenon; but, as is true with all things mothering, I wasn't completely prepared.
Kenzie and I have been working on "good why questions" and "bad why questions" as of late. Let me cue you in on the "good" variety:
Why is the rain falling?
Why does that smell funny?
Why are we a family?
Then there are the "bad" types that usually go down like this:
Mom: (We are trying to scurry out the door) Hey Kenzie will you go sit on the potty so that we don't have accidents when we go out today?
Kenzie: (with that whining irritated tone that seems to indicate that I have made an insanely awful request) Why mom!?
