Why?

We are definitely in the phase of "why?"

There is no limit to the "why" sequence. We fairly quickly reach the
point where we really just don't know the answer. Tonight, after a set
of answers involving lactose and lactase, I eventually said "because
magic." :)

Earlier this evening I turned the game on him and continually asked
him why. He got a good laugh out of it as did I. His end-game solution
was "I don't know," so I figure that's a fair answer for me to end
with too. Although sometimes he retorts "you do know."

Another good technique Liam has when I "why" him is to get circular
and ditch causality. An example from last night: "why did he fall
down?" "Because he bumped his head." I'm waiting for a good
opportunity to use that technique.

Sometimes his questions really make me think and are inadvertently
deep. And while I contemplate an answer and start rethinking
everything I once took for granted, he says "I have something on my
finger."
