Libby's new response to everything I say is the dreaded "why"...It is slowly driving me insane. The more she asks, the dumber I start to feel...mostly because I have realized that I in fact do not know the answer. Here are some examples:
Me: Libby, you can't go outside without shoes on
Libby: Why?
Me: Because the grass is wet and it's really cold out.
Libby: Why?
Me: Because it rained yesterday and there is a cold front.
Libby: Why?
Me: I don't know...low pressure something...
Libby: I want a blueberry waffle
Me: I'm sorry baby, we are out of waffles...
Libby: Why?
Me: Because I haven't gone to the grocery store...
Libby: Why?
Me: I haven't had a chance to go
Libby: Why?
Me: Because I'm lousy...
Libby: ooohh
Libby: Hold me
Me: I can't, I have to change Mary-Wilkes's diaper
Libby: Why?
Me: Because she pooped
Libby: Why?
Me: ...long pause...it's her body's way of getting rid of waste
Libby: Why?
Me: I don't know much more after that
Libby: Why?
Me: Because my science partner was a hottie
Libby: Why?
Me: Because God made him that way...
And these were just from yesterday...
so what does Tad have to say about the reason why you didn't pay attention in science class?
ReplyDeleteyou are too funny - i just laugh every time I read your posts :)
ReplyDeleteI just started reading this today. My daughter is 21 now. She no longer lives at home. So needless to say I miss those days when she was small. But when I read this I just laughed thinking back on her childhood and the 1000 or more questions a day. I love this page. Keep your head up. And cherise these days they go by to quick. :)
