I propose that a child has a limit on the number of times a kid can use a single word sentence in the form of a question. I love that my daughter is a sponge and that she questions everything around her. But I don't like the fact that everything I say is followed by one single word....why? Well, I take that back. I'm ok if she uses it when we're talking about something random. What I'm not ok with is that she asks why after I give her an instruction, or tell her not to do something, or tell her she can't have something...see a pattern yet? :)
The following is an actual conversation I had with...well...basically me, myself, and I, because the only other words used during the conversation were "why?".
Me: Zoe, Ethan, let's go.
Zoe: Why?
Me: Because we need to go to Walgreens to get your brother some medicine.
Zoe: Why?
Me: Because he ran out of his allergy medicine and needs some more.
Zoe: Why?
Me: Because otherwise, he'll get sick.
Zoe: Why?
Me: You sure ask a lot of why questions. Let's not ask that after everything that I say, ok?
Ethan (now putting in his two cents): Why?

So...who second's my proposal??
