Why?...and other questions.

With a 3 almost 4 year old in the house, we are deep into the question phase. I love seeing how her mind works but frankly, it is exhausting sometimes! Today, we are watching "The Sound of Music" (yes, I love having a little girl to watch it with me!) and the first 10 minutes of the movie went a little like this.

Addie: "Mom, why is she singing?"

Me: "It's a musical, that's what they do."

Addie: "Why is she in the water?"

Me : "She's just playing near the water."

Addie: "Why are there only girls at that church?"

Me: "Because it's a special church that girls live at."

Addie: "Why are they wearing black?"

Me: "That's what nuns wear."

Addie: "What are those girls singing about?"

Me: "They're singing about Maria."

Addie: "Why?"

Me: "Because she's always late."

Addie: "Why is she late?"

Me: "Because she's doing other things."

Addie: "Why does she have a suitcase?"

Me: "Because she needs to take her clothes with her."

Addie: "Why?"

Me: "Because she's going to live with the family to take care of the kids>"

And it just goes on, and on, and on. I finally fell asleep, so I think the questions stopped, but I'm not sure, you'll have to ask Wayne (who was not watching with us by the way!).
