Why?

Beatrice has fully embraced the "why" stage. She loves to ask why... about 30 times in a row. It's actually a fun game. I feel like it is a philosophical and logical puzzle to keep up with her, finding appropriate and true answers without resorting to easy enders like, "that's just how it is." I can remember only 3 times that someone has actually reached the end of her whys. The stoppers have all been pretty deep thoughts. She might have stopped to ponder these thoughts or she have gotten tired of the game and by the time it took to get to that deep thought. One time our friend Kristin got silence with the statement, "Because God likes to be creative." Its a fun game we can all add to our mental games for long lines or boring car rides... start with something tangible and close to you- a dog barking, a napkin, a design on your shirt. Then start asking why. Its amazing how much personal philosophy and world view emerge from this game.
