Why?

Yup, Jay is entering the why stage. It only started about two days ago but yesterday he really got on a kick. The interrogation began when I went to change his bum.

“Why Daddy?”
“Because when we eat we put food in your body, so we excrete what we don’t use, the waste.”
“Why?”
“Well we have to eat because we need energy to live.”
“Why?”
…

When it finally did end, I was in the fetal position crying “mommy” repeatedly while he laughed at me. Ok, it didn’t happen quite that way, but there I was, changing my sons diaper while describing the meaning and purpose of life.
