As I explain very thoroughly why my oldest shouldn't do something, she frequently tells me, "That's enough talk about that, let's move on." I kid you not, just happened again today as I explained to her why she shouldn't climb on the counter, stand up and get the lollipops from the shelf in the cabinet. I don't know which is worse, the why's, what's or let's move on's. It's all frustrating somehow. Sounds very familiar, though now I am getting the reverse.

He asks what everything is even when he knows darn well what it is. I'm dreading the 'why' phase. But hey, isn't it great that they are so inquisitive? I hear that's a sign of intelligence. What no one tells us is that while our children are exhibiting signs of intellect we mommy's are slowly going insane. Oh the why phase! My son is in the ‘what’ phase.
