Is it any wonder that I'm on my second glass of wine? They have 20 minutes and they are in BED.
No matter how many kids I have, the "why" phase is definitely one of the most infuriating!!

My oldest does this to annoy me at times... my response?
Why not?
But when it's a little one... that's so hard to just sit there and answer question after question! I wish you the best of luck :)
I am just coming into this. Already driving me crazy. Also, repeating every thing I say, only a bajillion decibels louder. We will survive. With wine.
Remind me again why I'm teaching my son to speak? ;)
Ah yes, the lovely "why" phase. So funny to look back on though - so hang in there!
Stephanie - duct tape. Very useful for curbing those speaking tendencies and for keeping them in the same location when you have to use the facilities.
Hee Hee! It's so much fun when they are learning to speak and they never stop!
When my son was a toddler he would ask questions like "Why is the chair, mum?"
I'd say "Why is the chair WHAT! Why is it there? Why is it brown? Why is it a chair? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
He'd calmly answer, "Just why?"
Why are you on your second glass of wine?
Kidding! That phase IS frustrating....I remember when my little brother went through it. And my parents were the typical "Because I SAID SO" people.
Mum-me - EXACTLY. I love that question: Just why?
LOL! Don't I know it!
Oh, the incessant talking and asking and wondering . . . .
