I thought kids didn't start the never-ending "Why?" question until they were 3. Someone forgot to tell Sadie the rules and she's started 8 months early.
Why?
I don't know.
Why?
I just don't know.
Here's a conversation I had with Noelle on the way to preschool this morning:
Me: It's a nice day, maybe you'll get to play on the playground today.
N: Maybe but the swings are always "A limits".
Me: The swings are what?
N: A limits. We're not allowed to go on them because of the puddles.
Me: Ohhh, they're off limits?
N: Yes, off limits. Maybe today they'll be "on limits".
I had to agree...if something can be "off limits" it only makes sense that at some point they will be "on limits".

Ugh, the "why" and "what is it for" and "what does that mean" and... Sometimes I tell Grace, "Mommy just needs you to be quiet for a minute!"
yeah, cathryn - me too. when i think that i just cannot answer one more question, i load everyone in the van and tell them - no talking. no questions. we're just going to relax, listen to the music and take a drive. also .. mama gets to pick the music. no singing vegetables during these particular drives.
